How often should you groom a Malamute?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

The Alaskan Malamute does require regular bathing and brushing. This bright and dignified dog can be bathed as frequently as weekly up to no longer than every 6 weeks. With this double coated breed, proper bathing and drying techniques lays the groundwork for achieving a beautiful coat and healthy skin.


How often should I get my malamute groomed?

Long coated malamutes require brushing every week, as well as good grooming (we recommend professional grooming for long coats every 6 weeks) about every 6-8 weeks If you do not follow this protocol for the long coats, you stand a very good chance of a very matted malamute that only shaving can remedy.

Should you cut malamutes hair?

Overall the Husky and Malamute need very little grooming compared to other breeds, no trimming of hair is needed, just a regular brush to remove any dead hair. NEVER shave, strip or clip your Husky or Malamute close, unless required for medical reasons, or to tidy up the legs or belly of a longer-coated dog.
