When grooming your Siberian Husky you need to use specific
techniques because of their double-coat. Through the
woolly undercoat common to the Siberian Husky there
is a longer, harsher outer coat. This coat provides
the Siberian Husky dog with insulation from the cold
and heat.
The shedding process lasts about three to six weeks,
then during the following three to four months a new
coat will start growing. During the shedding period
you want to groom your dog daily and between these periods
you should use regular brushing in order to take care
of any excess loose hairs. You won't have to deal with
the continuous shedding of hair that is common with
other dog breeds as long as you maintain a weekly grooming
pattern.
The main goal when grooming your Siberian Husky is to
remove the dead hairs that are clinging to the coat.
You are helping to clean both the skin and the shafts
of the living hair by grooming your Siberian Husky.
The two main tools to use when grooming your Siberian
Husky is the wide-toothed comb and a bristle brush.
There should be rounded teeth on the comb and the brush
should have bristles that are long enough to reach through
the coat to the skin underneath. The Siberian Husky
coat should never be cut or trimmed. There may be times
when you will want to tidy stray hairs around the feet,
but you should never shape or strip the coat of a Siberian
Husky. To break up any mats or snags and to remove the
dead hairs you should use the comb first.
The comb should have rounded teeth and the brush should
have long enough bristles in order to reach through
the coat to the skin underneath. You should never cut
or trim the coat of your Siberian Husky. Sometimes it
may be necessary to tidy up stray hairs around the feet,
but you never want to shape or strip the coat of your
Siberian Husky. Use the comb first to help break up
any mats or snags and to remove any dead hairs.
Use the comb and your fingers to gently tease apart
any knots you come across. After combing you should
use the brush and work forward, brushing over the head
and shoulders first before brushing back.
Your bathing should coincide with the molting of the
coat, which happens each spring and fall. Year-round
the Siberian Husky coat remains clean and usually doesn't
take on the dog odor. You want to use a shampoo formulated
for dogs that is very mild when you bath your Siberian
Husky. Human shampoo is often too harsh and can dry
out your dog's coat.
As a result of their activity level the Siberian Husky
typically gets enough exposure to pavement that you
don't have to trim their nails often. Although it is
still important to inspect the nails regularly to make
sure they don't need trimming. If nails are not kept
properly trimmed the nails will become overgrown, which
can affect the placement of the dog's feet and as a
result their gait.
