How To Groom A Siberian Husky Dog?

You got yourself a Siberian Husky dog as a part of your family , it now becomes your responsibility that they look their best at all times. Grooming a dog is one of the few ways you can help your pet dogs , especially Siberian Husky. Huskies have beautiful double long coats which when maintained can be wavy ,shiny and thick just like those shampoo advertisements you see on the television.

Few things you need handy when you are grooming your dog are a coat brush, a nail cutter for dogs, a dog-friendly toothbrush, wet wipes and towels. While regular grooming can be a neat affair, weekly baths for Siberian Huskies can be a messy affair.

Start by brushing their coats on a regular basis. This not only prevents matting or tangling of their rich coat but also prevents parasitic infestation of leeches and ticks. More careful cleaning measures are required for the cleaning of ear and anal glands of Huskies.

Since Siberian Huskies are a stout and heavy dog breed, make sure to trim their nails on a regular basis since you do not want to hurt yourself unintentionally by your dog’s nails next time they jump on your lap. Long dog nails also pose danger to the dog itself as they like to scratch themselves very often.

Tips For Bathing Siberian Husky- the Bathing Brilliance

Siberian Huskies can be a very enduring dog and water resistant but everything apart , giving them a bath purposely can be nothing less than an adventure. We highly recommend you keep all the bath supplies handy since your paw friend is not going to stop at one place when you start giving them a bath.

Bathing a Siberian Husky should be pre planned and a weekly affair depending upon how dirty they make themselves during their outdoor activities. Too frequent baths can ruin their natural oil and sebum present in their body that keeps their white coat shiny and smooth.

Few tips that you can follow as a heads up as to how to give a successful bath to your Husky puppy or adult dog:

• Starting to give them baths at a young age with treats and positive association rewarding can make them cooperate with you and not make a fuss about it.
• Use proper dog bath supplies including dog specific low pH shampoos, dog brushes, soaps ,eye cleanser for your Husky’s bath. Using human shampoos can be threatening to their skin and cause inflammation.
• Make sure to go slow with the process. Gently start to wet them with lukewarm water. Too hot or too cold water can not only startle them but also trigger them to escape from the situation.
• After you are done with the shampoo and the soaps, never forget to rinse the coat of your Siberian Husky. Leaving behind soaps or shampoos can cause itching or skin rashes.
• You might attempt to towel dry your dog but nothing compares to their post bath shaking that will make you dripping wet with a water shower. Some dog owners also use a low blow dryer to get them dry and also give a texture to their coat.
• Above all , if your husky cooperated with you throughout the process, do not forget to give them a treat for their positive behaviour.
