Here are a few things that are safe to give your pup:

Apple Slices
Chicken
Green Beans
Salmon
Oatmeal
Sweet Potatos
Peanut Butter
Yogurt

Things you should never give your pup: 
Caffine

Onions
Garlic
Salt
Grapes / Rasins
Gum
Chocolate 
Alcohol 


We also give Odin carrots wich has been approved by our vet. He loves to eat human food but we try to limit it to only things that our vet has told us is ok. 

Again check with your vet to see what things you can give your pup before giving him any new food treats.

On The Go Essentials for Huskies

With a lifestyle that is always on the go, I wanted to do a post about the On The Go Essentials we have for Odin. 

Most of these items we keep in the car and have them on hand all the time. 

A must is a seatbelt leash. We have one that is made of all metal pieces so that if there is an accident Odin will be safe and secure. 


A harness is also a must for us. We wanted to keep Odin secure but didn't want to use his normal collar to do so. So we decided to get a body harness to distribute his weight and the pressure of the seatbelt in case of an accident. Choose one that has metal clips so they do not break or snap on impact. 



A travel bowel. We keep 2 in the car. One for water and one for food. We also keep a separate water bottle just for him in the car at all times. 

A seat cover. This is mostly for us. It helps keep the back seat clean and free of dirt getting no the seat. 





Waste bags. You never know when your little pup will need to go, so we keep plenty of these on hand with us when we go places. 


A food / treat jar. We keep both food and treats in the car at all times. We keep food in the car in case we are out past Odin's dinner time. It helps keep him on a feeding schedule and is easy to give it to him while we are on the go. We keep treats in the car for the obvious. If we go into a store, or out in public and we want to keep his attention we give him treats for good behavior. 


I am sure there are a ton of other on the go essentials on the market, but these are just some of the things that we use. 

I would suggest shopping at your local pet store to find what your pup will need on the go.
