The body temp of a dog is around 102 deg ! so if you use a hose they freeze ! the first baths were very bad ! Now we use the bath tub and at the mention of a bath she will run and get in tub, so we have to spell it out like a kid ! Hope this helps

With my Shiba I started with a soft brush. It was just a small soft brush that I got from the pet store. I always start small, with light strokes, and then only very slowly increase the challenge when Sephy is comfortable with each stage.

After Sephy was comfortable with the soft brush, I started to introduce the Furminator using a similar process. That is what I use today with Sephy and my Huskies.

I just got a pup a few weeks ago and would like to start getting him used to being groomed. Thanks!

I do not use sunscreen on any of my dogs, so it is not something that I have looked at in great detail.

I would talk to a vet about this and see what he says.

Also what about sunscreen. I read just good things about them till i found one article that talked about ingredients. http://www.natural-dog-health-remedies.com/sunscreen-for-dogs.html What’s your opinion on these? I have cousin who has some huskys one of them is a light red female which now you can’t tell she was light red because of the sunrays here in arizona. According to the webpage they recommend a baby sunscreen lotion but has to be all organic.

I don’t currently have a favorite brand, but I *do* make sure to –
1. Use a shampoo that is specially formulated for dogs. Human shampoos can cause skin irritation to a dog.
2. Not shampoo my Sibes too often. Too much shampoo-ing can wash away the natural body oils, which protect their skin.

Where did you read that regular shampoo can cause coat color to fade? The only special case I know of are bleaching shampoos. Here is an interesting article on bleaching shampoo and other types of whitening shampoos-
http://groomwise.typepad.com/grooming_smarter/2009/07/how-whitening-shampoos-work.html

If there are particular brands of regular shampoo that are known to have bleaching effects, please let me know so that I can add that to the article. Thanks.

I’ve never had a Siberian husky before. She’s a Copper color. I wish to give her a bath soon but don’t know which shampoo to use on her as i hear some shampoos fade the color away. Also i live in Arizona so trying keep her coat as best as posible. I’ve hear a lot people use a brand Best shot. Any recommendations ? Thanks, by the way nice webpage i’ve read most of it.

She has been so much better lately-she even likes walking through a fountain. She hates the bathtub as you mentioned with Sephy….We’re not even going to try that again, haha!
She seems okay with the sprinklers/hose…it’ll be even more fun in the summer (so I bet she’ll tolerate it even more then). We recently got to meet with other shibas and heard all there tales of bathing horrors. 🙂 Thanks so much!!

I’m sure we’ll be back with more questions soon haha!
