Bringing home an Alaskan dog is the start of an incredible journey filled with loyalty, energy, and companionship. These powerful and intelligent dogs thrive when given proper care, attention, and structure. When you’re adopting an Alaskan Malamute, understanding their unique needs is key to a happy, healthy life together.

Exercise & Mental Stimulation

Alaskan dogs are bred for endurance and hard work. They need daily exercise, not just for physical health but also to prevent boredom. This can include:

• Long walks or hikes
• Jogging or biking
• Sledding, cart-pulling, or agility training
• Puzzle toys and obedience games

Diet & Nutrition

A high-quality, protein-rich diet supports their active lifestyle and maintains coat health. We reccomend:

• Feeding a premium kibble similar to the one included in our care kit.
• Monitoring weight and adjusting portions based on activity.
• Supplementing with omega-3s for skin and coat support.

Grooming Needs

Alaskan breed have thick double coats designed to protect them in harsh climates. They "blow" their coat seasonally, shedding heavily. Here's how to manage your new friend:

• Brush at least 2-3 times per week, daily during shedding season.
• Use an undercoat rake or de-shedding tool.
• Bathe only as needed; typically every few months.
• Regular nail trims, ear cleaning, and dental care are essential.
