You mean "what does Akita inu (Japanese dog) eat?"

They are omnivorous. Try anyting. Meat, fish, cheese, milk, dog foods, bread, etc. But not hot and spicy foods.
Let him walk or run at least 30 min everyday. He was a hunter in ancient time.
Please brush often. They like hot bath (of course not too hot).
But they don't like hot weather.

Akitas, as a rule, do not do well on a food high in soybeans, which is the primary source of protein in most commercial, supermarket dog foods. They do well on meat and bone meal-based foods and those with fish meal. Twice daily feeding throughout their adult lives is recommended to lessen the chance of bloat (see below for more information on bloat). Some people add a daily natural kelp tablet for the additional iodine.
One other thing worth mentioning here is how long to feed puppy food. Some research indicates that feeding puppy food for too long can increase the incidence of hip dysplasia in dogs that are susceptible to it. The theory is that the higher percentage of protein found in puppy formulas can accelerate growth before the developing skeleton can support the weight. Some breeders start feeding adult food very soon. Most people gradually switch to adult dog food at 8-10 months. Again, this is something to discuss with your breeder and veterinarian.

Dog food like any other dog! They eat a lot and grow quite large, but they are great dogs. A good mix of dry and canned food.

Problems with the liver and kidneys can often make an animal too sick to eat and will cause excessive water consumption. Taking her to the vets is the only way to know for sure, though, so you're doing the right thing. good luck!

This really has to be one of the most stupid question I have ever read! Dogs by nature are carnivores - they will eat grasses, etc when needed, thus the herbivore.
PS -- feed them a balanced dog food. It has everything they need. No difference between Akitas & Shepards when it comes to food.
