The most common concerns include hip dysplasia, which affects the hip joint; eye disorders such as juvenile cataracts, progressive retinal atrophy, and corneal dystrophy; and hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces insufficient hormones.
Some Siberian Huskies may also develop zinc-responsive dermatosis, a skin condition that improves with zinc supplementation.
Responsible breeders conduct health screenings on the parent dogs before mating, including hip evaluations and eye examinations by veterinary ophthalmologists.

You should select a high-quality puppy food that lists animal protein as the first ingredient. Divide the daily portion into three meals until the puppy reaches six months of age, then reduce to two meals per day.
Do not free-feed, as Siberian Huskies can become overweight if given unlimited access to food. Be aware that the breed has a natural tendency to self-regulate food intake and may sometimes skip meals; this is usually normal behaviour as long as the puppy remains healthy.

This coat is designed to protect the dog from extreme arctic temperatures. You should brush your puppy two to three times per week using a slicker brush and an undercoat rake to remove loose fur and prevent matting.
During seasonal shedding periods in spring and autumn, the breed "blows" its entire undercoat, and you will need to brush daily to manage the heavy hair loss.
Do not shave your Siberian Husky, as the double coat provides insulation against both cold and heat; shaving can lead to overheating and skin problems.

Use short training sessions of no more than ten to fifteen minutes with positive reinforcement techniques, including praise, play, and small treats. This breed is known for its stubbornness and independence, so patience and consistency are very important.
Harsh corrections are ineffective with the Siberian Husky and may lead to resistance or fear. Socialisation is critically important and should begin early, ideally before the puppy reaches four months of age.
Introduce your puppy to a wide variety of people, friendly dogs, different environments, and common sounds.
