Why is my female Husky so skinny?
Huskies are high-energy working dogs. They tend to be very active and – if given the possibility – love to run and exercise extensively off-leash. They will burn a lot of calories doing so.
Especially if your Husky is intact (meaning not spayed or neutered) he or she will use up a lot of energy to run and play. (The metabolism of dogs slows down a bit once they have been altered)
As long as your Husky is active and happy, likes to run and play and has a healthy coat, you do not need to worry that he is too skinny.
Chances are that your Husky will naturally gain weight as he ages. Young dogs between the ages of 1-3 years are usually the skinniest. Once their abundant energy dies down a bit they become heavier.
You should regularly assess your dog’s weight and body condition. While he may eat a lot until his first or second birthday, you will probably need to reduce his food intake once he is finished growing.
