Food

Each breed has health problems that they are more susceptible to suffering, although it is not guaranteed. It is best to be proactive, however. One of the best methods to do so is to reinforce their diet with foods that prevent these diseases.

Hip and Elbow Dysplasia

Hip and elbow dysfunctions are very common among most breeds of dogs. However, in larger breeds like the Malamute, it is even more frequent. A good mixture of glucosamine and chondroitin supplements helps support their hips and joints as they grow old. Once they reach an age where they no longer perform their usual duties, they can enjoy retirement life.

Allergies

Not all Alaskans Malamute suffer from allergies, but they were bred for this purpose. They also often end up doing more work than they’re paid for. I say this because their genetics and association with wild canines make them more prone to these maladies. Some owners do try to give them fresh food, but because of their wolf heritage, it’s not easy.

Who suffer from severe allergies, it’s important to limit their exposure to potential allergens so they won’t develop an adverse reaction.

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disease in dogs characterized by high levels of glucose (glucose is a simple sugar found in food) in the bloodstream. Symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst, fluctuating appetites, and weight loss. Your dog’s diet will need to be adjusted accordingly, based on what is best for him. Typically, these adjustments occur as a result of nutritional recommendations given to your veterinarian by your local veterinary clinic.
