The Alaskan Klee Kai, also known as the miniature husky, was developed in Alaska in the 1970’s by Linda Spurlin after an Alaskan husky mated with a small dog. The word “Klee Kai” is a word that means “Small Dog” from the Alaskan Athabaskan language. The breed is a mixture of a Siberian/Alaskan Huskies and an American Eskimo or Schipperke. The result of this mix is a high energy, smart, small dog suitable for apartment living with a beautiful, northern look to it.

Most 24PetWatch Clients Insure Alaskan Klee Kais with:
My husband had been to get an oil change and the men at the garage had kindly put a free bottle of windshield washer fluid in the back seat. However, they forgot to tell him. On the way home he stopped by the grocery store. Zoe, my 3-year-old boxer, was in the back seat and bit into and drank the washer fluid! Zoe was immediately sick and we rushed her to our local veterinarian. We were then hurried to the Animal Hospital where they were more equipped to deal with poisonings. At first they didn't think Zoe would make it, but she pulled through. She stayed in the hospital for 2 days. Without Pethealth Zoe would have been put down. Pethealth covered a huge amount of the bill. We heard about 24Petwatch Pet Insurance through our local veterinarian. Zoe has a great personality, is wonderful with children and the joy of my life.
