For Alaskan dogs over 12 months old, the feeding frequency should be changed to once a day. At this time, the body of the Alaskan dog has grown to be similar to that of an adult Alaskan dog, and the stomach capacity has also increased. The food eaten at one time is enough to provide the energy needed throughout the day. In order to keep the Alaskan dog healthy, the principle of feeding is to make it eight times full. How to measure the food supply? You can observe the Alaskan dog's food intake in 3-4 days, and then add the average to calculate the average daily food supply.
