How to bathe a Siberian Husky? Before bathing a Siberian Husky, put a collar on him to facilitate control. Use a cotton swab or cotton bud to plug the Siberian Husky’s ear canal to prevent water from entering. Then wet the Siberian Husky with water, rub it with special shampoo, rinse it clean with clean water, and wipe it dry with a towel before blow-drying it with a hair dryer.

Bathing Steps:

1. Before bathing a Siberian Husky, put a collar on him to facilitate control. This is particularly important for many well-trained dogs, but it may be useful for the first-time bathing Siberian Husky.

2. Use a cotton swab or cotton bud (do not use cotton balls, as they may fall out automatically if the Siberian Husky shakes his head) to plug the Siberian Husky’s letter-shaped ear canal vertically.  The temperature of the bath water should not be too high or too low, and is generally around 36 degrees in spring and summer, and around 37 degrees in autumn and winter.

3. It is important to prevent bathing liquid from getting into the eyes and ears of the Huskies during bathing.

4. The water should be rinsed thoroughly, and the foam of the bathing liquid should not be left on the Huskies’ bodies to prevent irritation of the skin and the occurrence of skin inflammation.

5. Bathing should be done in the morning or afternoon, and not in the weather with high humidity or on rainy days.

6. Start rinsing. The direction of rinsing should be to clean the Siberian Husky’s head first, then the body. Start from the head and gradually rinse backward, don’t just splash water all over the place, rinse where you go.

7. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the shampoo residue from the Siberian Husky’s coat. After confirming that the shampoo residue has been completely washed off the Siberian Husky’s body, it is recommended to use a conditioner every time. The acid-base balance is beneficial for thoroughly washing off the shampoo residue on the Siberian Husky’s body.

8. Use a large towel that can wrap the Siberian Husky completely to dry it off. Remove the cotton swab from the Siberian Husky’s ears and clean the ears. Dry the Siberian Husky with a towel first, then use a hairdryer. If your Siberian Husky has skin problems, let it air-dry naturally without getting cold, as the heat from the hairdryer will further irritate the itchy skin.

9. Dry the Siberian Husky thoroughly, and then remember to comb its coat.

10. Finally, clean the Siberian Husky’s eye discharge and ears with tissue paper.

Bathing Tips:

1. Before bathing, it is necessary to comb the fur first, which can comb the entangled hair and prevent the hair from becoming more entangled, especially the parts that Siberian Husky does not like to be combed should be combed clean. When combing, to reduce and avoid Siberian Husky’s pain, hold the root of the hair with one hand and comb with the other hand.

2. The temperature of the bath water should not be too high or low, generally 36 degrees in spring and summer, and 37 degrees in autumn and winter are most suitable.

3. When bathing, be sure to prevent bathing liquid from getting into Siberian Husky’s eyes and ears.

4. When rinsing, be thorough and do not let the bathing liquid foam remain on Siberian Husky’s body, to prevent irritating the skin and causing skin inflammation.

5. Bathing should be done in the morning or afternoon, and not on days with high humidity or rainy weather.

6. After taking a bath, you should immediately wipe the water droplets on the Huskies body with a towel and use a hair dryer to dry it. Do not let the Huskies dry in the sun after bathing. Bathing can remove a lot of oil from the coat, which to some extent reduces the Huskies ability to withstand cold and the skin’s resistance. Cold and hot temperatures can easily cause the Huskies to catch a cold, and severe cases can even lead to pneumonia.

7. Try to use pet-specific shampoo as the pH value of a Huskies skin is different from that of humans. Human-used shampoo or bath products are not suitable for a Huskies skin.

8. In addition to food, grooming your Huskies daily, bathing it regularly, and trimming its fur in appropriate seasons can all be beneficial to its fur. Regular exercise and sun exposure can also promote blood circulation and enhance the quaty and volume of its fur.

Finally, when the Huskies finish a bathing task, be sure to encourage them, give them some treats or praise, so they know that bathing not only gets them yummy things, but also makes them loved by their owners. Believe that they will definitely love this cleaning activity. Bathing is a love-hate activity for Huskies, but as long as the owner can reasonably arrange it and eliminate the things that make dogs annoyed during the bath, they will definitely have a satisfying and happy bathing time with their dogs! Let’s solve the problem and keep Huskies looking handsome and healthy all the time!
