How to help a Siberian Husky Dog with Arthritis FAN FRIDAY #69

Hey buddy! Guess, what time it is? It is... Fan Friday! Woo hoo! Fan Friday! Fan Friday! Say hi! Fan Friday! Alright kids! Knock it off! We have to do Fan Friday! Karan wants to know... How's Oakley with her behavior? Did you see any changes from when she first got home? Does she need to improve on anything? The biggest thing Oakley still needs to improve on, is probably... The barking! She does bark a lot! A lot more than the other two ever did! Not that it's a big deal, but... If we're gonna improve on anything, it's probably gotta be that! Amir and Chelsea want to know... Are you going to start competing with Shelby in agility? We've talked about it! Still haven't decided! Maybe! But, still not sure! I know I always say that wrong! Says... Shiloh wanted hard food over her special diet in another video. Does she still prefer the hard food? Or will she eat her special food? Bless you! Bless your face! Shiloh is a very finicky eater sometimes. She will eat her special diet for quite a while. Then, will feed her hard food every once in a while. The hard food is better for her teeth. Really just depends on what Shiloh wants to eat. If she won't eat her special food, I give her the hard food. If she won't eat the hard food, I give her the special food. So, she's kind of going back and forth with it. But, she seems to do really good on the new hard food we have them on. I had them on the beef and ocean fish formula before. That was what was making her so sick. Shiloh cannot have beef! Craig wants to know... Have you or will you do a test on how fast each of your dogs can run? Well, when we've run with the bike before... Shelby, want to go for a run? When we've run with the bike before, Shelby can do about 22mph with the bike. Shiloh can do about 14mph. She doesn't put too much effort into it. Oakley, who's way over there... Her top speed is about 14-15mph when we've done it a few times with her. Michelle wants to know... What are the best pills for arthritis in Huskies? Oakley has juvenile arthritis in her back knees. We don't have her on a pill. We actually have her on... It's called liquid health. It's a liquid form of glucosamine. I'll actually put a link down... Watch her lay down! She did very good! She's doing much better! I don't know if you guys remember the older videos, how long it would take her to do that. We have her on... It's called canine liquid health. I'll put a link down below to an Amazon link where you can buy it. It's between $20 and $30 every time you buy the bottle. It lasts for a really long time. As you can see... It has definitely helped Oakley, hasn't it? You just pour it on their food. Very easy to give to them. Leone says, you've already showed us a howl duet of Shelby and Shiloh. How about a howl duet with Oakley? We only got Oakley to howl a handful of times. Once we get her to do it a little bit better, we'll definitely do another howling video. We got a really good question from Laura. She wants to know... If you ask me, AKC and CKC isn't even a good enough reason to breed your Husky. Just because they are AKC or CKC registered, doesn't mean they didn't come from a puppy mill or a bad breeder or a bad line. I could give you a really long answer to this. Basically, I think breeding should be left to the responsible breeders who know what they are doing. Who breed their dogs with OFA certifications and who breed their dogs to better the breed. Not just because. I don't think any dog should be bred just because. Just because you think your dog is the prettiest or because you think your dog has the best personality. I think my dogs are pretty and have good personalities, but I didn't breed them. Because they don't have the best background of their lineage. I mean, Oakley has arthritis. Shiloh has multiple issues with her immune system. Shelby... Well... Shelby is just crazy, but I don't think that was bred into her. I think she's just crazy. But no, I don't think you should ever breed a dog just because. No matter what the breed. I think the breeding should be left to the professionals. I think that if you have a Husky and you are not a professional, you should probably just get your dog fixed. Save yourself, other people, rescues and the puppies and everybody. A lot of time and pain. A lot of people will breed their dogs and then they'll go, Oh! I have good homes for all the puppies. That doesn't matter. Are those good homes then going to breed those puppies with more dogs? Then you end up with more puppies? We don't need anymore puppies. Leave the breeding to the professionals. In the mail today, we got another birthday card for Shelby from Paige. Paige says, Happy Birthday Shelby! We also got a package in the mail today from Mike. Mike said, he was at the store and he saw this and he had to get it for us. Here! Pull down on that for me! Thanks! Try again! Pull down on that for me! Thanks! Oh! Good job! Would you look at that? It's got a Husky on it! What? Oh! You want one? Ok! You can have one! Back up! Back up! Oh! You guys asked about Oakley and anything we need to fix with her. We need to fix her not grabbing food! Oh! That was very nice! Very nice Oakley! Very nice! No Shiloh! Very nice! Shiloh always takes very nice! Can you sit? No! No! No! Can you sit? Good job! Oakley! It's not for you! It's not for you! It's not for you! Back up! Back up! Back up! There you go Shelby! Say, thank you Mike! No Oakley! You don't need another one! I know you want one! Thanks for sending that stuff you guys!
