Bath Time!

August 21, 2012 by A Husky Life Leave a Comment

A Husky’s coat is a tricky thing. Actually,  it often is a deal breaker for many thinking of getting one.

They shed year round

twice a year they moult

The coat is so thick that it makes examining the dog’s skin and checking for fleas quite challenging

It absorbs odors

The good part about their coat is that it keeps them isolated from the elements – both cold and sun. It is covered in natural oils making it water and dirt repellent. It’s actually quite amazing – the dirt simply dries and falls off their coats!

You need to brush them at least once a week, however, you shouldn’t bathe them more than 3-4 times a year, since you don’t want to wash off the oils.

Usually by the end of a fun filled summer this cartoon depicts the state of his coat:

and that’s how we know it’s time to head over to Bow Wow Hause.

Because of Rocco’s epilepsy, we always go to our friend and trusted groomer, Bryan. Rocco knows and loves him, and even though he still hates getting groomed, it makes the experience less stressful for him and I know he is in capable hands should he have a seizure.

Even though he wasn’t pleased, he still gave Bryan tons of kisses.

 

For a dog that loves water, he is quite the drama queen in the tub.

He got a nice rosemary bath, a coat conditioning treatment and he’s all set for the fall.
