While some mushers may cull or euthanize dogs that are no longer able to compete or have behavioral issues, practices vary widely among individuals and organizations. Many responsible mushers prioritize the well-being of their dogs, seeking alternative solutions such as rehoming or providing care for retired sled dogs. However, there have been instances of controversy and negative reports, particularly regarding the treatment of dogs that are no longer deemed useful for racing. Overall, the ethical treatment of sled dogs is a complex issue with differing perspectives within the mushing community.

A pro to the Iditarod is that the food for the dogs contain fat in them. The dogs usually eat fatty fish, beef, and lamb. A con is that the sled dogs are forced to race when they can suffer from heart failure, pneumonia, and sled accidents. A second pro is that the dogs MUST where booties to prevent frostbite and cut paws. Another con is that dogs' mushers can injure or even kill the huskies if they don't do what the musher wants them to do.
