If you’re a new Husky owner with a beautiful fuzzy little pup, you might not be fully aware of the “fur blizzard” that is part of this breed’s natural cycle as adults. Don’t be unprepared for the Hairpocalypse that awaits you!
If you’re a lover of purebred dogs like Huskies, you might be wary of adding a cross-breed pup to your family, and rightly so. But do cross-breeds actually have advantages over purebreds, and what are their disadvantages?
The winter season, or indeed any cold spell even in the warmer months, can be brutal on our doggo’s paw pads. Unlike us soft and pampered humans, dogs are barefoot year-round, and are exposed to the elements and various chemicals.
Eating poop is a disgusting idea to us humans. Unfortunately, our fur kids don’t always feel the same way! Some dogs seem to enjoy it more than others. What can you do to stop this habit?
Mature dogs and elderly dogs have different needs to younger dogs. This isn’t a groundbreaking fact – after all, mature and senior humans have different requirements too! But how do you know when your dog is now a senior?
We’ve received a ton of questions about whether prospective new Husky owners should pick a guy or girl dog. While the main differences between the sexes are discussed in this article about male or female Huskies, it can’t hurt to have some more in-depth and updated knowledge!
More pets end up in shelters during and after the 4th of July than any other time of year. Why? Because of fireworks, of course. Almost every type of dog is frightened of fireworks, and a physically strong and highly excitable breed like Huskies are able to get far, far away from whatever scares them!
Huskies are a very clean breed by nature and don’t smell bad. They don’t need regular bathing, and too much shampooing will strip the natural oils in their coat and irritate their skin. Bathing is for very, very dirty dogs who have rolled in mud – or something worse!
As a responsible and compassionate Husky owner, you obviously want to make sure your guy or girl is in tip-top health. Regular visits to the vet for checkups are important, but you won’t usually need to visit the vet with any major problems as often as with other breeds of dogs. However, there are a couple of genetic health problems that you need to be aware of in order to keep your Siberian Husky as healthy as can be.
Nonsexual mounting of other dogs is generally a dominance, control, or challenge behavior, although when practiced by puppies it’s primarily about play and social learning, beginning as early as 3-4 weeks. Mounting of humans is strictly nonsexual; it may be about control, it can be attention-seeking, and it can be a stress-reliever. High hormone levels and normal sexual responses to other unneutered dogs are different from the kind of “problem mounting” that embarrasses you in front of your in-laws or boss when they visit!
