Husky haircut and husky grooming in Kyiv

Why grooming a husky requires a special approach

Husky is one of the most popular breeds in the world, which fascinates with its endurance, strength and fascinating wolf-like appearance. Hailing from the North, these dogs are known for their thick coats, natural independence and loyalty, making them great friends and companions. However, taking care of huskies requires certain knowledge and approaches, because their fur protects not only from the cold, but also from the heat. Therefore, professional grooming of a husky is far from a matter of aesthetics, but a prerequisite for maintaining the health of a husky.

Special care is required due to the thick undercoat, which tends to accumulate dead hair, which can lead to mange formation and skin irritation. Husky grooming helps maintain cleanliness, prevent skin diseases, improve thermoregulation and reduce the amount of fur in the home, which is important for keeping the dog looking its best and feeling good.

Husky breed types: Features and characteristics

There are several types of Huskies, and each has its own unique traits and grooming needs. The most famous are Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Huskies and Sakhalin Huskies.

• The Siberian husky is a classic variant of the breed, known for its endurance and strength. They were bred to transport goods over long distances in the conditions of the North, so they have a thick double coat that protects against low temperatures. Siberian Huskies come in a wide range of colors, including black and white, gray, red, and all-white varieties. Caring for Siberian Huskies includes regular brushing of the undercoat and monitoring of the condition of the skin.
• Alaskan huskies are dogs specially bred for riding races. They are lighter and faster than Siberian Huskies and often have shorter coats. They are less prone to excessive shedding, but still need regular brushing, especially during seasonal shedding.
• The Sakhalin Husky is a rare breed of husky dog ​​originating from Sakhalin, where they were used to drive sleds in harsh conditions. Their fur is even thicker and tougher than that of Siberian Huskies and requires more frequent and deep brushing. These husky dogs are less known outside of Asia.

Each type of husky has its own characteristics in care, and regular grooming ensures a healthy coat and comfort for the dog, regardless of the conditions.

Peculiarities of husky fur and its care

Huskies have a unique double type of coat, which consists of a thick undercoat and a tougher guard hair. This structure provides excellent thermoregulation: the undercoat protects the dog from the cold in winter, and in summer it helps to avoid overheating by preventing excessive heat from reaching the skin. Because of this unique trait, clipping a husky is not recommended as it can upset the natural balance and lead to health problems such as overheating in the summer or hypothermia in the winter.

Instead of cutting a husky, it is recommended to perform a deep combing of the undercoat, a procedure that helps to remove dead hair that accumulates in the undercoat and prevents the formation of matted hair. Combing also helps to ventilate the skin, helps to avoid irritation and keeps the coat looking healthy. Regular grooming for huskies, especially during seasonal shedding, reduces shedding, which makes life easier for the owners and also provides comfort for the dog itself. Professional care using special tools guarantees that the procedure will be effective and safe for your pet.

Comprehensive husky care at V.O.G DOG SALON

Combing the undercoat

Regular and professional brushing of the undercoat is the key to a healthy and beautiful husky coat. At V.O.G DOG SALON, we use special tools, such as undercoat rakes and brushes with different tooth sizes, which allow us to remove dead hairs and coats as carefully as possible without damaging the undercoat. Regular brushing prevents the formation of tangles, allows the fur to “breathe”, reduces shedding and makes your pet comfortable at any time of the year.

Bathing with professional cosmetics

Husky bathing in our salon is a full-fledged SPA procedure. We use only hypoallergenic shampoos designed specifically for sensitive skin and thick fur. Additional conditioners and masks based on natural components give wool softness, natural shine and ease of combing. Thanks to properly selected cosmetics, we carefully clean the coat without disturbing the natural balance of the skin, which is especially important for huskies prone to dry skin.

Cleaning ears and teeth

Caring for the husky’s ears and teeth is no less important than caring for the coat. Our groomers delicately clean the auricles from sulfur and dirt, preventing possible inflammation and infections. We also clean teeth, using special tools that allow you to maintain the health of the oral cavity, prevent the appearance of tartar and freshen your pet’s breath.

Care of paws and pads

Husky paw pads are often subjected to serious stress, so they need special care. We use protective creams that deeply moisturize the pads, protecting them from cracks and damage. Such care is especially important in a cold or hot period, when the paws are subjected to additional stress.

Husky haircut in intimate areas to prevent contamination

Although clipping huskies is generally not recommended due to the particular structure of their coat, a short trim in the intimate areas can be beneficial and even necessary. This delicate procedure helps maintain cleanliness and hygiene, prevents the accumulation of dirt and unpleasant odors, especially in the summer. At V.O.G DOG SALON, our groomers carefully trim the fur in such areas, using safe tools and techniques that ensure the dog’s comfort during the procedure and reduce the risk of irritation.
