The coat of the husky can be divided into two layers
As a sled dog we You may feel that the coat of Huskies is much shorter than that of Alaskans and Samoyeds. This is because it is related to the region where they live. Even in cold regions, there are places where the temperature is not so cold. Huskies live in areas where the temperature is slightly higher, so their coats are not as thick as those of the other two sled dogs. But even so, their coats must retain certain characteristics to protect them from the cold.
Siberian Huskies are famous for their strong will, but now they are known for being "stupid", but this does not protect them. The fact that you can tolerate lower temperatures. In the cold Siberia, they need to adapt to the huge temperature difference of dozens of degrees between day and night.
A qualified husky must have a special coat to protect it from the harsh environment. There are two layers of hair, outer hair and down. The outer hair is divided into two sections. You can often see the dark and shiny top, and the lower end of the hair is thick and relatively light-colored. The shiny tips of the hair are called "SILVER TIPS" and are used to block ultraviolet light and the heat emitted by the fiery sun. The strong hair roots grow firmly in the skin, so generally speaking, the coat of the Husky is similar to It is not easy to shed hair. Generally speaking, the ratio of Husky's inner hair (down) and outer hair is 8 (inner hair): 1 (outer hair). These rich inner hairs will penetrate a kind of oil for waterproofing, and it is also because of this oil that it is just right. It effectively creates a very scientific insulation layer (INSULATION) to reduce the heat and cold outside.
The Husky's own coat is enough to protect it from the cold, so there is no need to wear any more clothes
Because there areThis rich coat allows the Husky to live better in such an environment. Try to keep the Husky living in a dry environment. Use a hair dryer as much as possible after bathing to reduce the relationship between hair and skin. It is very important for Huskies. If a lot of hair loss occurs due to skin diseases, it will make the Huskies even hotter on hot days, and in serious cases, direct ultraviolet rays may even lead to skin cancer.
Other dogs live in the cold, so their diet is also a big challenge, so their gastrointestinal functions are also somewhat different from other dogs. . Huskies have special gastrointestinal functions and have relatively high requirements for protein and fat. Therefore, it is recommended that the time for feeding puppy food can be appropriately delayed for a few months, and then replaced with adult dog food. It is often suitable to supplement some fish or beef to promote growth. The requirements for calcium are also relatively high. It is necessary to appropriately supplement calcium for Huskies, but it cannot be supplemented blindly. As for the brand of dog food, since the gastrointestinal functions of Huskies vary greatly, it is best to depend on the dog. Choose a trial pack of the brand you like, then choose several flavors that the dog likes, and then make a selection based on nutrition.
Because Huskies themselves have thicker coats to keep them warm, there is usually no need to wear any clothes for them in winter. This will not only easily cause their coats to get wet knots, and excessive delicacy will not bring all benefits to the health of the dog. If they are not allowed to suffer anything, then the dog's physique is really worrying. In the end, even small changes in temperature may cause the dog to get sick.
