Raw food for Husky and Malamute together

A Husky and a Malamute on the same raw diet — that's actually a very workable situation because these two breeds share a lot of nutritional DNA, both being northern working dogs with similar protein tolerances and metabolic rates. The good news is you genuinely can run both on one brand without compromise. Before I point you at something specific: are both dogs a healthy weight right now, and roughly how much does each one weigh? Malamutes tend to run noticeably heavier than Huskies, so portion sizing will matter more than the product choice itself.

Good weights, and healthy condition makes the transition much smoother. Switching from kibble to raw you'll want to do it gradually over about two weeks — start at 25% raw mixed with their current kibble and increase every few days. Now, for a single brand that works well for both: I'd go with Natures Menu Country Hunter raw nuggets. They come in a range of proteins — chicken, rabbit, duck, venison — and each variant is nutritionally complete on its own, meaning you're not having to balance anything yourself. They're frozen nuggets so portion control is very easy, which is exactly what you want when two dogs need different amounts from the same bag. For your Husky at 25kg you're looking at roughly 500g per day at maintenance, and the Malamute at 38kg will need around 760g. Same product, just different quantities. The nugget format also makes it harder for a faster eater to wolf down the other dog's portion.

Rotation is genuinely better, not just marketing. Feeding a single protein long-term can create subtle intolerances over time, and you miss out on the slightly different amino acid and fat profiles that different meats bring. With Country Hunter the rotation is easy — the base formula is consistent across proteins so you're not disrupting the balance when you switch, just swap one box for another. A practical approach is to rotate every bag or every couple of weeks. Chicken and duck are your everyday staples, venison is excellent for a leaner option if either dog puts on a little weight. I'd avoid making fish the primary protein for northern breeds — they handle it fine but it doesn't suit them as a daily base the way it might a Spaniel.

Six is the point where it's worth keeping an eye on things, but Malamutes age slowly and a fit 6-year-old is genuinely mid-life for this breed rather than senior. Country Hunter's complete formulas are appropriate for adult dogs of all ages — they're not split into life stage ranges the way kibble brands tend to be, which actually works in your favour here. What I would do at this stage is make sure the Malamute gets a joint supplement alongside the raw food. Nordic Naturals Omega-3 fish oil is worth adding to his portion — maybe half a teaspoon daily — to support joints proactively. You don't need to change the base diet, just add that in. Reassess at eight if you notice stiffness or weight changes.

Amazon UK carries it and it's Prime eligible so you can get it delivered reliably — search for Natures Menu Country Hunter Raw Nuggets and you'll find the 1kg pouches and the larger multipack boxes. Buying the mixed protein multipacks is the most cost-effective way to do rotation without having to order several separate products. Given your combined daily usage is around 1.2kg, a decent bulk order will last you a couple of weeks and freeze well. Some specialist raw pet food retailers like Pets at Home or dedicated raw suppliers also stock it, but Amazon tends to be the most consistently stocked for the nugget format.
