Shopping for Your Siberian Husky
We've taken some time to put together
several pages full of items that we think you'll find very
useful when caring for your Siberian Husky. We have only
included items that we feel will will benefit owners of
Siberian Husky puppies or adults. Other breeds may also
benefit, but these items are not focused on other breeds.
There will be lots more recommendations
here as we have the time to research them.
- Bathing
Siberians are not large dogs but it can seem that way when you're trying to give them a bath. This item is our absolute favorite item. It is the Booster Bath. Order it directly from the manufacturer's web site, which you can get to by clicking on the photo below:
- Books
We've reviewed these books for applicability to the unique characteristics of Siberian Huskies. Some puppy books apply as well, but when it comes to special training techniques a book targeted to Siberians is best.
- Collar
Siberians can and do escape at their first opportunity. The wanderlust starts to kick in about the same time for them that it does for humans -- puberty! Is it any wonder that the first time a Siberian family needs to consider the best ways to keep their Siberians safe is between the ages of 6 and 24 months?
- Feeding
Making a great choice when considering the type of foods to feed your Siberian Husky is important over the entire span of his lifetime. It is important during the growth period from 8 weeks to 24 months, during his adult years from 2 to 6 years, and during the senior years from 7 to 15+ years of age.
- Fencing
Siberians may be unique to many other breeds, in that they have been raised over several millenia to be confined so that they can be safe and available to work when needed by their human companions.
- Grooming
Once you've had about a year with your Siberian, you've had a chance to see at least one real shed with a full coat drop. Siberian Huskies drop their coats on average twice a year. In warmer climates, they might drop their coats three times per year, or even get a little "confused" and drop fluff at any time during the year.
- Harness
Generally speaking, the most secure type of collar for your Siberian is actually a harness. Siberians are so well known for bolting off in a full run when distracted by a rabbit or a mouse or what have you that you're doing them a huge favor when you appropriately constrain them with a quality harness.
