Can I shave my Husky Malamute?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

With Alaskan Malamutes and Huskies, the coat is thick in the winter to keep the dog warm. But it also acts to cool the dog in the summer. Shaving these breeds is not advised, because without the coat they cannot regulate their temperature and are at greater risk of heatstroke. The skin is also subject to sunburn. 1 мая 2015 г.


Is it OK to shave a husky?

But the general consensus is that huskies and other double-coated dogs shouldn't be shaved unless absolutely necessary. Doing so won't keep them cooler, and in fact makes it harder for their bodies to regulate temperature. It exposes the dogs to sunburn and potential long-term hair loss.

Why shouldnt you shave a Malamute?

The act of shaving a Malamute or double-coated breed removes the dog's natural insulation and causes their system to kick into high gear. They'll now produce coat to protect themselves from extreme temperatures, sunburn and sharp objects.

Do Malamutes get haircuts?

If you cannot keep up with a long coated malamute yourself, find a pet salon near you to take on the task! A good groomer can trim your long coat up very nicely for you. Regular grooming will help your groomer do their jobs properly and keep your long coat in gorgeous condition and grooming!
