Expert Grooming Tips For Your Siberian Husky

I groom my Siberian Husky once or twice a week and I try to focus on taking away the dead hair while still gently revitalizing the skin glands to produce healthy oils. Making the session fun with treats and a soothing voice ensures that my Siberian Husky will look forward to this time spent together.
I try never to tug at my Siberian Huskys fur, if there is a matted section that can't be eased out with a touch of cooking oil; I just cut it away with scissors.
Anytime I get a new brush, I will rake it across the back of my hand or arm as a test of what it will feel like to my Siberian Husky. If it is painful or irritable, I will not use it because I don't want to scratch my dogs' sensitive skin.
During grooming I always keep a careful eye out for any reddening of the skin, signs of fleas or other parasites and any spots that are swollen or painful to the touch.
