Alaskan Malamute
Follow With the development of society, raising pets has become a fashion. Because Alaska has a strong speaking ability, has a pretty appearance, and can understand people's speech, expressions and various gestures, more and more people are raising it.

Because it is born in the cold, it is not very heat-resistant and needs to be maintained in a relatively cold environment for a long time. This dog's ability to exercise is extremely strong, so its living environment needs to be relatively spacious. More importantly, it is important to maintain its sufficient amount of exercise. Alaskan dogs are very large and have thick coats. They like cold but not heat. It is not easy to raise them well.

Colds, skin diseases, and even pneumonia can easily occur when the dog is cold or hot.

The dog’s anal glands must be squeezed before bathing. Press them out. Next, be sure to clean up the water and dirty items in the dog's ears after washing.
