How to groom a Siberian Husky
What a beautiful dog the Siberian Husky is! Having a wolf-like appearance, many people are just awestruck when seeing it for the first time. They have been featured in many films pulling sleds and overcoming frigid temperatures. They are an embodiment of athleticism and power. However admiring the Siberian Husky for its looks is quite different from maintaining and keeping it that way.
Having a broom or vacuum cleaner handy will not solve the problem. Having a double coat of straight hair and a soft undercoat, these dogs really shed. An undercoat rake is recommended for the undercoat and may take an hour to get all the hair out. Next is to shampoo the dog and lather him up well. Rinsing all the shampoo out is needed to avoid irritations. Use a slicker brush after blow drying the coat dry to remove loose hair and give a smooth finish. Tartar removal by thrice a week brushing and trimming of nails is beneficial for all.
