Siberian Husky Care Tips

🐾 Exercise & Activity

• High-energy needs: Huskies need at least 1–2 hours of vigorous exercise daily (running, hiking, play).

• Mental stimulation: Use puzzle toys, obedience training, or dog sports (like agility or sled pulling) to keep their minds busy.

• Secure space: They are known escape artists—ensure your yard is well-fenced and secure.

🍖 Diet & Nutrition

• Feed a high-quality dog food, tailored to their activity level.

• Split meals into 2 servings per day to avoid bloating.

• Avoid overfeeding—Huskies are efficient eaters and don't need large quantities.

🧼 Grooming

• Double coat: Brush 2–3 times a week, daily during shedding season (spring and fall).

• Bathing: Only every few months or when very dirty; overbathing strips natural oils.

• Nail trimming: Every 3–4 weeks.

• Dental care: Brush teeth a few times per week.

🏠 Living Environment

• Huskies thrive in cooler climates but can live in warmer areas with proper care (shade, water, limited midday exercise).

• They are pack-oriented and do best with human or canine companionship.

• Not ideal for apartment living unless exercised thoroughly.

🧠 Training & Socialization

• Start training early with positive reinforcement.

• Socialize as a puppy with different people, dogs, and environments.

• Be consistent and patient—Huskies are smart but stubborn.

🏥 Health Care

• Regular vet check-ups, vaccinations, and flea/tick prevention.

• Watch for breed-specific issues like:

  • Hip dysplasia

  • Eye problems (cataracts, progressive retinal atrophy)

  • Hypothyroidism

⚠️ Important Reminders

• Huskies shed heavily, especially during seasonal changes.

• They can be vocal and love to howl.

• They need a job—idle Huskies can become destructive.
