I dont know exacly what food hes feeding him right now but if you could please help me by telling me what i should do to help him get his husky back into a regular diet you would be my life saver. Please help us.
AnswerThis is a common problem with rehomed dogs. A lot of times, they just need to get adjusted and acclimated to a new environment before resuming eating. Sibes also have very efficient metabolisms, so even a normal dog might go a day or two without eating much.
Two suggestions to help include covering his kibble with something that will encourage eating - things like low sodium broth (my dogs prefer chicken broth) or shredded cheese on the food can be a good encouragement. Beyond that, give the dog some time. If the dog isn't eating much more than treats for a week or so, you may have more serious issues, but usually, the broth or cheese are good tricks.
