As far as diet goes, Malamutes need a lot of protein. This can come from either dog food or a raw diet. If you are feeding your Malamute a kibble diet, make sure that it is a high-quality food that is designed for working dogs. It should be high in protein and fat and low in carbs. A raw diet is also a great option for Malamutes. This diet mimics what these dogs would eat in the wild and is full of the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
