Understanding these 5 things that most new husky owners learn the hard way.

1. They're not just a pretty face

Huskies are active, athletic, working-breed dogs who require a lot of exercise. 

 

Daily exercise is important for them both mentally and physically, so doing activities with your beloved Husky helps them and strengthen your bond together. 

 

Fenced-in yards are best for this breed so they can run freely, but if you don't have that, make sure they are always kept on a leash and harness during walks or outdoor activity. 

 

Pro Tip: During hot summer days, keep exercise to a minimum and before the sun comes up for the day. These fluffy pups are the perfect companion to your morning run, swim, or bike activity!

2. Hidden health concerns - what to watch for

To help your Husky live the longest, happiest life possible, it’s important to understand which health problems your goofy working dog is prone to. 

 

While not all Huskies deal with these conditions, understanding can help you spot them early on. 

 

Huskies can suffer from:

-> Eye conditions 

-> Hip dysplasia

-> Hypothyroidism

-> Hypertension

-> Heart disease 

-> Skin problems

 

Pro Tip: Routine visits to your vet at least once a year can help you keep your Husky happy, healthy, and thriving!

3. Fueling your Husky...

In general, it’s best to feed your Husky a mix of high-grade commercial dog food and raw food. They require a diet high in protein, so a well-balanced meal with red meat can fulfill their dietary needs. 

 

During cold months, you can add fat and protein along with exercise, and in warm months you take away some fat and protein. It can be as simple as feeding one food brand in winter and another in summer. 

 

Pro Tip: It’s important to know that you should never feed your Husky cooked bones, since they can splinter and cause serious injuries to your beloved working dog. However, raw bones can be great, nutritious options for your Husky to chew on. 

4. The social contract

Huskies are friendly, playful, and affectionate with family, making them great with young children and other dogs!

 

While these fluffy pups have a loud, expressive voice, they make poor watchdogs due to their friendly nature with strangers.

 

Their key temperament traits are playful, mischievous, independent, curious, and highly social. They are intelligent but their independence can make training challenging - patience is essential!

 

Pro Tip: With consistent training and the right environment, Huskies become loving, loyal family members for years to come!

5. The grooming reality

Huskies are a double-coated breed. 

 

This means their coat has two layers of fur - the long and smooth outer coat, and the soft and fuzzy undercoat. 

 

This coat provides natural insulation against summer heat and winter cold, and it even protects their skin from sunburn. 

 

This is why it is important to never shave them! 

 

It is also why Huskies requires regular grooming. Although they “blow their coats” twice a year, they shed year-round because of loose undercoat coming out. 

 

This can cause problems with matting, knots and tangles, so you need a special grooming tool to safely remove the loose/dead undercoat. 

 

A highly recommended tool for this is the FureverBrush by NuewayPets. 

While getting that loose undercoat out, it helps your Husky’s coat function as it should while preventing skin conditions by getting rid of knots and tangles. 

 

It also drastically reduces overall shedding, which is great news for your clothes and your furniture! 

 

Grooming your Husky with the FureverBrush up to 3x weekly will help manage that shedding undercoat and keep your Husky’s coat in top shape!

 

What makes the FureverBrush different:

  1. Designed specifically for double-coated breeds
  2. Reaches deep into the undercoat without damaging the top coat
  3. Gentle on sensitive husky skin
  4. Reduces grooming time by 50%
