<3Jess<3 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 My little Bella came in from outside this morning black up to her elbows on all her feet from digging in the backyard...Just sat down on the couch with her 20ish mins later and she is clean!!! Bella is always spotless no matter what she was doing earlier it's amazing I never see her cleaning herself tho so also very confusing Is it okay for her to lick herself so much? I'm guessing thats how she cleans everywere or does the husky fur drop dirt eaiser? Nothing too serious was just curious about it =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeflyaway Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Yeah, I've brought my pups home from the dog park absolutely filthy... and an hour later, they're clean. Even though they've been napping. Count yourself lucky you have a husky and don't have to give a bath every time she gets dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob & Juno Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 mine cleans herself like a cat, she is always so clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snssewell Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 They have a very oily coat so dirt will not stick to them for long. When we used to go to the dog park when she was a puppy and other dogs were wrestling her and she got dirty the other owners would apologize to me that their dog got her so dirty :lol:. I always told them not to worry because by the time we get home all that dirt will be in the crate. She loves to dig in the yard too especially after it rained she always looks like a mud puppy, but 1-2 days later she is all clean again. I think Husky's are not supposed to be bathed that often anyway because of the way their coat is. But with them its usually enough to just spray them off with the water hose or let it dry and fall off or brush it out . I just have to sweep the crate out every other day cause it turns into a sandbox!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericrdj Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I admit huskies are catlike when it comes to cleaning. Obi usually would play and have some dust and dirt afterwards. After leaving him for a while, he looked silky clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseWillow&Dexter Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 mine are the same, they can be filthy covered on mud but it all just falls off and shes clean again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbysowner Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 yup, napping and a good brush are the best ways to keep your husky clean. mine is the same, filthy to no ends but clean after his hour nap. just think about where all the filth ends up.

Lil Miss Bump Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 yep-self cleaning! Most of the time! Lol xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebe03 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'm sure people assume I wash Polee everyday as she always clean but I can't take the credit for that it's mainly Polee who keeps herself that way. She loves getting dirty but doesn't like staying dirty for any length of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achelow Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Nadia cleans herself like a cat too, she spent hours yesterday digging and running around in a muddy park yesterday, got home and all the dirt was on the car seat covers, absolutely nothing on her. Still had to bath her because she also went swimming though. They do need bathing after going in the sea right? I don't want to bath her too often but she loves swimming..

<3Jess<3 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 heh yeah its great about the bathing how often do you bath you're husky? Even tho she cleans herself im sure she still needs a bath every now and then so how often should i bath her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Glala and Dana never have been bathed and they don't smell at all Their leashes are the ones that smell and need to be cleaned every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjk Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 huskies are known to keep themselves clean. one descritopns i read said that huskies are nearly as fussy about being clean as cats are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhalla Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Say bath to my lot and they run away, but take them down to the stream in the woods and they love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurchybold Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I think on the whole you shouldn't really bathe dogs in general it upsets thier natural oils, so unless you really have to don't. I hate it when I get home from work in the summer to find that my girls have washed Boone. Don't mind if they cool him down with the hosepipe but would prefer that he wasn't bubbled up with doggy shampoo, not necessary, That's my opinion, don't know if it's right, but I would have thought so, please correct me if I'm wrong, Andy & Boone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achelow Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 So what about salt water? I only ever give Nadia a bath when she's been swimming and digging at the beach and once during each coat blow to help get her coat out.. Should I just rinse her after she's been in the sea instead of a full bath? The Marmara Sea isn't really the cleanest and I hate the seaweed smell she gets after a good swim.. She loves swimming, and our only enclosed area (where she can be let off-lead) is part park, park beach.. Not sure I could keep her out of the water if I tried! What does everyone do after the beach?
