We hear it all the time: “Why won’t my finicky husky eat the expensive food I buy them?!” Dealing with a picky husky can be frustrating, so we asked our I Love My Husky Facebook community the following question: “What’s the best food for a picky eating Husky?” We received hundreds of replies and summarized some of the best suggestions below.
Best Foods for a Picky Husky
My baby was dumped and left alone for about a week before we caught her and gave her a home. For the first 2 months she would hunt and eat crickets. She has finally realizes that she won’t be hungry again but she will eat almost anything that I eat. Including broccoli.

We use Purina One. She likes beef the most, but eats the other flavors. If she’s being picky, we sprinkle either some shredded cheese or parmesan cheese on the food.

I had the same issue with mine. We tried all brands of dog food and after a few days stopped eating it. So I went to boiled chicken and rice and sometimes put melted butter over it and or chicken or beef both that she ate a lot. Good luck. They can be picky eaters.

Our huskies did this. They get tired of the same food as humans do so you can keep the same food I will normally put organic chicken broth in it or try some eggs. They will also out smart you knowing you will buy a different food and just do it in general. I learned that the hard way

My girls and boys (4) eat the Costco brand the dry food, it comes in 3 different flavors. We tried the wet dog food, they gained weight. We mixed their dry food, or veggies, or chicken broth. I boiled salmon with some celery and carrots and mixed the broth with their food. They like yogurts, fruits, veggies, sweet bread and even the peels of mango and bananas. Take care.

I buy my husky 4 Health Chicken & Rice dog food . I buy it at Tractor Supply. I also make her ground chicken from Aldi’s & put some over her dry food . I will do ground turkey but it’s more expensive right now. They are a very picky breed, she’s almost 12 & acts like a puppy still.

Smart Feeding Tips for Picky Huskies
Feeding a picky Husky can take patience, creativity, and a bit of trial and error. Many owners find success by mixing high-quality kibble with tasty toppers like chicken, fish, broth, or vegetables to keep meals interesting. Since every Husky has unique tastes and nutritional needs, the best approach is to experiment carefully while maintaining a balanced diet. With the right food and feeding routine, even the most selective Husky can start looking forward to mealtime.
Always consult your vet before making any health changes to your husky’s diet, especially if they frequently suffer from any medical issues.
