The Siberian Husky’s friendly personality and majestic appearance have made this northern breed one of the most loved pets. Developed to travel long distances while pulling light loads, Huskies have a ton of energy, making them the perfect companions for active pet parents. Despite their high energy levels, Huskies are extremely efficient at burning calories and utilizing nutrients, so they tend to eat less than other breeds.
Of course, it’s important to feed your Husky a high-quality diet that meets their nutritional requirements. Consider your pup’s size, age, and any health issues when choosing a dog food for them. To help you get started, here are Wag!’s top picks for the best dog foods for Siberian Huskies, including a couple that Dr. Georgia Jeremiah, pet nutrition expert and one of Wag!’s veterinary consultants, recommends to her own clients!
Overview

What pet parents say about We Feed Raw
“You know I was a bit worried because I have an extremely picky Husky who I have a difficult time getting to eat all his food. He loves We Feed Raw. He’s still not so sure about eating it completely raw, but I’ve been lightly searing it and man does that do the trick. This is the first time I have ever seen this dog eat all the dry food and lick the bowl clean! While it is pricey, I think it’s worth it because 1) it’s good quality food and 2) my stubborn boy likes it a lot. I’m definitely willing to work this food into my budget.”

What pet parents say about Blue Buffalo Wilderness
“I have always been skeptical of expensive dog food, but my dogs absolutely loved this food! While none of my dogs have any health or skin problems, they are picky and they ate this without question. However, it is still expensive and as I didn't see any health improvements, I can't justify the cost for every day food.”
"My dogs loved this new food I tried from Blue Buffalo. It’s the first time giving them the wilderness brand. It’s the perfect bite size for all 4 of my dogs. They range from a tiny bichon to a golden retriever. They seemed to really like the taste of it. It’s chicken flavor and it was a hit!"
