Feed your Canadian Eskimo dog a high-protein kibble. The breed does not do well on a starchy diet, they can be prone to zinc deficiency. Consider adding meat, bonemeal, and fat to their diet if needed.

Other than corn and barley, some grains are impossible for Canadian Eskimo dogs to eat. They are recommended to have at least 3-4 cups of dry food divided into two meals a day.

The Canadian Eskimo dogs' double-coated is harsh and sheds or blows their coat twice a year. Weekly brushing helps reduce the amount of hair in your home, and it keeps the plush coat of the Canadian Eskimo healthy. Regular trimming and professional grooming are also required.

Its coat is fairly easy to care for most times of the year, needing brushing only one or two times a week. Their coat may be either trimmed with clippers or by stripping (a process by which the coat is thinned and shortened with a sharp, comb-like tool called a stripping knife) a mix of both. Brush their teeth whenever needed to remove tartar buildup and the bacteria that lurk inside them.

As you groom, check for sores, rashes, or signs of infection such as redness, tenderness, or inflammation on the skin, in the ears, nose, mouth, and eyes, and on the feet. Your careful weekly exam will help you spot potential health problems early.

Canadian Eskimo Dogs need a lot of exercise. They require more than just walking. To satisfy their energy levels, they need extensive exercise routines. They should have at least 45 minutes of daily workouts such as carting, mushing, and skijoring. Exercise is very important for older Eskies, but the routine should be considered, especially the length and pace of their tempo and endurance.

Scheduled six-monthly health check visits with your vet are important to ensure your Canadian Eskimo is healthy and happy throughout all life stages. In these annual visits, your vet will complete a physical examination, take your dog's temperature and check his heartbeat, among other things.

Routine maintenance for your dog gives you a chance to track your dog's growth and development, discuss any concerns with your vet, and form a key part of preventative care.
