How to raise a Chinook puppy

Precautions for maintaining Chinook dogs:

1. Supplement calcium tablets. Before your dog reaches adulthood, it is best to take 2 calcium tablets a day to ensure healthy bone development.

2. No need to bathe frequently. Chinook's hair has a strong self-cleaning ability. If the environment is not particularly dirty, it can be bathed once every half month when fed indoors.

3. Comb the hair. When shedding, prepare a dog-specific comb and comb it several times a day to avoid getting hair all over the house.

4. The environment should not be too humid. Alaska has thick hair and moisture does not escape easily, making it prone to skin diseases such as eczema.

5. Avoid greasy food. Don’t eat anything too greasy. It’s best not to have oil in the dog food or rice you eat.
