- Unless you’re a qualified veterinarian, you’re not able to judge whether
your husky needs a shave.
- It sounds harsh, but it’s true. A dog’s heat regulation is alien to us
mostly-bald humans.
- Not only does a dog’s coat play a vital role in their
temperature control, but they also don’t even sweat as we do, so shorter
hair isn’t always the advantage it seems to us.
- This is even more relevant for double-coated dogs like huskies. Their fur
is of a complex and clever design that regulates their temperature
whatever the season.
- Only in extreme cases will a husky’s fur become a
thermoregulation problem.
- If your dog is showing signs of suffering even with a healthy coat and
sufficient hydration, then it’s time to talk to a vet.
- They may advise medical shaving. But for most dogs, a brush to keep the coat loose and remove shed should be enough to keep them looking good and feeling fine.
