Do Huskies smell bad?

Huskies are one of the lower-odor double-coated breeds. Their coat has a self-cleaning property similar to a cat's, and they don't produce much skin oil.

How often should I bathe a Husky?

Every 3 months is standard. Over-bathing strips the natural coat insulation that keeps them comfortable in both hot and cold weather.

Why is my Husky shedding so much?

Huskies 'blow' their undercoat twice a year -- this involves shedding their entire undercoat over 2 to 4 weeks. Daily brushing during this period is essential.

Does a Husky's coat need professional grooming?

Yes, at least once or twice a year, especially during shedding season. A professional blow-out removes loose undercoat that brushing misses.
