El Siberian Husky It is a dog that attracts a lot for its beauty and for its resemblance to the wolf. Those clear eyes, his peculiar howl and how pretty this dog is in general make it a highly desired breed by many. However, we must know their care to know if we are ready to have a Husky in our lives.
If you have noticed the coat of this breed, you will realize that it is very peculiar. These dogs originate from a very cold climate, so their hair has adapted to these circumstances, being very dense and consisting of two layers. This makes it more difficult to maintain than other breeds that have much less density.
The main thing is know what the husky's hair looks like. It has an inner layer that protects and insulates it, hence many times we see them sleeping comfortably in the snow and many people wonder how they can do it. This insulating layer is what protects them from temperatures and keeps the cold and humidity outside. In fact, if you wet them, you will notice that their hair seems almost waterproof, and that you have to use enough water to penetrate the layers below.
El fur is renewed twice a year, and in the molting season we will see that we have to brush them very often, and that even their hair falls out in clumps. It is normal if they are moving. If the fall continues and they look bald, it may be due to a food problem or skin allergies and you should go to a veterinarian.
El washing this fur it also has to be done with specific products. The shampoo must be for dogs, and in particular it must be antiallergic if the dog has ever had skin problems. The point is that it should not be washed more than once a month, because then we can take away the natural protection of the skin. The rest of the time we can keep the coat clean with talcum powder and normal brushing.
