Siberian Huskies are remarkable dogs known for their thick double coats, powerful build, and graceful, effortless gait. Are you considering adding one to your family? If so, it’s important to understand their unique characteristics and needs.

Huskies thrive in family environments and generally get along well with other dogs. This makes them an excellent choice for households with multiple pets. These dogs were bred to run and will do so at any opportunity. A secure space where they can safely explore, and exercise is a must.

They are medium sized dogs, generally not weighing more than 60 lbs. Their friendliness makes them an indifferent watch dog. They are generally a longer living breed and can remain active and healthy into their senior years.

An advantage of Huskies is their natural cleanliness and lack of odor, which many owners find appealing, but expect shedding, especially twice a year! Regular brushing keeps your dog looking and feeling good. Allowing loose hairs to accumulate in their coat can negatively affect his ability to control his body temperature. Our grooming department can help. They know the right tools to use to get the job done right!

Siberian Huskies are bred to work in groups and are very social. They prefer to be in the company of people and other dogs and can struggle if left alone for extended periods. A positive and fun training approach will help teach your dog good manners. Finding a job or activity that you and your dog enjoy is important for these working dogs. Check out our group classes to help your Huskie get off on the right paw!

A high-quality food is important, use care to prevent overfeeding. Due to their breeding they tend to maintain a healthy weight on less food compared to some other breeds. We carry Zignature brand dog food in our store. This may be a good choice to help keep your Husky healthy.

Huskies are wonderful companions, but they do require commitment and understanding from their owners. By ensuring you can meet their needs, you’re setting the stage for a rewarding relationship with your new furry friend. Do your research to find a responsible breeder.
