Siberian Husky Grooming

Coat & Shedding

• Heavy shedders, especially during seasonal “blowout” (spring & fall)
• Brush 3–4 times weekly, daily during shedding seasons
• Use deshedding tools and undercoat rakes to remove loose fur

Bathing & Skin Care

• Bathe only when dirty (every 6–8 weeks); Huskies are naturally clean
• Use hypoallergenic, moisturizing shampoos to avoid dry skin
• Dry thoroughly post-bath to avoid coat matting and skin issues

Hygiene Tips

• Clean ears regularly and check for wax buildup
• Trim nails every 3–4 weeks
• Brushteeth a few times a week to maintain oral hygiene

Training & Exercise

Exercise Essentials

• Minimum 1.5 to 2 hours of exercise daily
• Activities like jogging, agility courses, and pulling carts work well
• Playdates and dog parks can satisfy their social nature

Early Care

• Crate training can help with independence and safety
• Begin leash training early—Huskies love to
• Provide chew toys for teething and mental focus

Development Tips

• Socialize with new people, environments, and sounds
• Teach boundaries early—they are intelligent and independent
• Supervise heavily—Husky pups are curious and mischievous
• Begin basic training and establish household rules

Daily Life Must-Haves

• Requires a lot of exercise: running, hiking, pulling games
• Needs mental stimulation—interactive toys, puzzle feeders, obedience games
• Not ideal for sedentary homes or apartments unless exercised rigorously

Home Setup

• Secure, escape-proof yard—Huskies are known escape artists
• Cooling mats or fans for warm weather comfort
• Durable toys—they’re strong chewers with playful instincts
