Huskies are a working breed from extremely cold climates so their physical and personality traits are designed to suit these conditions and lifestyle. For instance, besides their double coat of fur, a husky’s ears are much furrier than those of other breeds to form a protective barrier against icy cold winds. And their fluffy tails are long enough to protect their faces when they curl up to sleep.

If you choose to bring a husky home, developing a lifestyle and routines to help your husky adapt to warmer climates should be a life-long commitment.

Huskies are used to a pack life and can adjust well to living as part of a family. They have been known to be friendly and social with other dogs but have strong hunting instincts and tend to chase smaller animals, especially if they run. Families with huskies should be prepared to meet the needs of a highly energetic, playful and curious companion. Here we have a few essentials to include in your Husky supplies shopping list.

FOOD FOR YOUR HUSKY

For husky pups we recommend puppy food from Orijen, Farmina or Taste of the Wild . Pups who have just been weaned and are starting to eat dry food (younger than three and a half months of age) can begin with puppy starter foods from Arden Grange or Royal Canin. To make it easier to eat, we suggest soaking the kibble in water to soften it.

Adult huskies have different nutritional requirements which are met by options from Taste of the Wild, Orijen and Farmina. Acana also has some popular varieties to choose from.

WITH YOUR HUSKY

banner

As most working breeds are, huskies have a lot of energy and they also have strong hunting instincts. Expect an active lifestyle with plenty of physical and mental exercise to keep your husky happy. Rope toys and strong fetch toys are good additions to your pet’s toybox. Playtime is the best way to bond with your pet so don’t miss out. At different lifestages, dogs need different forms of exercise and play. To understand your pet better, speak to a certified canine behaviourist.

Exercise doesn’t always have to look like a run or a game of fetch, it can also be training, a puzzle toy or a stroll with plenty of time to stop and smell interesting scent. Nina Ottosson’s puzzles and KONG interactive toys are adept at keeping your husky engaged, these toys exercise their minds and sense of smell. Licki Mats and snuffle mats are also a good option for indoor mental stimulation activities.

Thanks to their build and coats, Huskies need to be watched closely for overheating and dehydration. Especially when you’re out on a long walk, a hike or spending time at the dog park. Opt to keep them indoors, in a cool environment during the warmest parts of the day. Use toys or create games to prompt mental stimulation. This helps them stay calm.

GROOM YOUR HUSKY

Daily grooming will be necessary and it’s best if you start getting them used to being handled from a young age. Investing is the right husky grooming tools will be worth it. The best dog brush for Siberian husky is a slicker brush. However, a rake brush and comb will come in handy for their routine brushing at home.

Huskies have a double coat, the undercoat is short and thick to help them keep warm. This is shed in the warmer seasons. The outer coat of longer fur is what prevents snow from sticking to them. In warmer weather huskies tend to shed more.

The HUFT Deep Cleansing Shampoo works well for baths. Consider giving your pet a relaxing massage before their baths with the HUFT Massage Oil. This not only scores you major brownie points with your dog but also encourages blood circulation which contributes to the overall health of the coat.

a NOTE ON sHAVING YOUR DOGS

Many pet parents believe that shaving their huskies in the summer will help them stay cooler. But this is not so. Shaving off all your pet’s fur leaves their skin unprotected from the elements. Without any fur to act as a shield, a dog’s skin is open to being sunburn among other dangers. Instead, discuss a more specific summer grooming routine and design activities that will help your husky stay cool.

WALK YOUR HUSKY

It’s best to walk a husky during the cooler times of the day. They enjoy taking in all the sights and smells of the neighbourhood. Vary your walk routes to keep things interesting and stay alert at all times as huskies are extremely curious and strong.

Invest in a strong, light harness for your pet such as a Ruffwear or HUFT Active Harness, you can easily find a husky leash to match . Consult a behaviourist to train your pet to walk well on a leash at a young age.

If you have an adult dog, they can still learn to walk on a lead with patient, consistent training and guidance from a certified behaviourist. A husky’s fluffy coat makes it tempting for ticks and fleas to infest and a quick spray of the Tick & Flea Repellent before walks helps to discourage these bugs from latching on.

An ID tag should be a key part of your Husky accessories collection. Should your pet ever get separated from you, this will help a rescuer to reunite you.
