The Husky
Huskies usually shed their fur twice a year before the season's change. This is known as “blowing their coat” and happens during spring and autumn.
In preparation for summer, a Husky will shed its winter coat to keep them cool during the warm months. Similarly, it will shed its summer coat in preparation for the cold months ahead.
Their coat is one of their most distinctive features that allows them to survive in such chilly conditions. Not only does their fur look beautiful, but it also acts as an excellent insulator, keeping them cozy and warm.

The most common Husky questions: Do Huskies shed a lot?
Yes, Huskies are heavy seasonal shedders. Alongside their light, year-round shedding, they "blow their coat" twice a year, in spring and autumn, releasing large amounts of loose undercoat over several weeks as they adjust to the changing temperatures.
How often should you brush a Husky?
During peak shedding seasons, we generally recommend brushing your Husky once or twice per grooming session for around 10 minutes. However, shedding intensity varies between dogs, so adjust the frequency and length of each session based on how much loose undercoat is being removed. Once the brush is no longer picking up loose fur, it’s time to stop.
Should you shave a Husky to help with shedding?
No, shaving a Husky is not recommended. Their double coat regulates body temperature and protects them from sunburn and skin damage, so removing it doesn't reduce shedding. Sticking to regular brushing with the right husky brush is the safer and more effective way to manage loose fur.
The Importance of the Right Husky Brush
To manage shedding effectively, it's crucial to use a deshedding brush designed specifically for their dense undercoat.
Regular grooming not only keeps their coat healthy but also reduces the amount of loose fur around your home.
