Siberian Husky Insurance – Costs, Cover & Common Health Issues
The Siberian Husky is a striking working breed originally bred for pulling sleds in Arctic conditions. Known for their wolf-like appearance and bright blue or multi-coloured eyes, Huskies are energetic, independent, and highly social dogs.
Recognised by the The Kennel Club in the Working Group, Huskies have grown steadily in popularity across the UK. They are intelligent and friendly but require experienced handling due to their strong prey drive and escape instincts.
🐾 Average lifespan: 12–14 years
🐾 Average adult weight: 16–27 kg
🐾 Originally bred for sled pulling in Siberia
🐾 Recognised by The Kennel Club in 1968

Common Health Issues:
-
Hip Dysplasia – Surgery £3,000–£7,000
-
Cataracts – Surgery £2,000–£4,000
-
Corneal Dystrophy – Treatment £300–£1,000
-

Cruciate Injuries – Surgery £2,500–£5,000
Highly active Huskies are also more prone to injury, which can lead to costly surgery and ongoing care.

Diet & Nutrition
Huskies require a high-quality diet suited to active breeds.
Key dietary considerations:
-
High-protein formula to support lean muscle
-
Monitor for zinc deficiencies (some Huskies are prone to this)
-
Controlled feeding based on activity level
-
Avoid overfeeding during lower activity periods
-
Split meals to help reduce the risk of bloat
-
Maintain a lean body condition to protect joints
Because Huskies are energetic working dogs, their calorie needs can fluctuate — adjusting portions to match exercise levels helps prevent weight gain and long-term health issues.

Exercise Requirements
Siberian Huskies are extremely energetic.
Daily exercise needs:
- 2+ hours per day
- Secure off-lead running
- Pulling sports or endurance activity
- Ongoing training and mental enrichment
Without sufficient exercise, Huskies can become destructive or attempt to escape.

Who Is the Siberian Husky Perfect For?
Siberian Huskies are ideal for:
- Very active individuals or families
- Experienced dog owners
- Homes with secure fencing
- Owners who enjoy outdoor adventures
- People willing to invest time in training
They are less suited to apartment living or sedentary households.
Why Insurance Matters for Siberian Huskies
From orthopaedic surgery to specialist eye treatment, veterinary costs can add up quickly — particularly for highly active breeds. Comprehensive insurance ensures you can prioritise your Husky’s health without worrying about unexpected expenses.
