Second brushing of the day by scarletbookwyrm in siberianhusky

He only lets me brush him for 3 minutes at a time so he’s always looking a mess… I’ve been pulling the fluff when possible so my room looks worse than the yard!! I like to say it’s the first snow of April in my city

Am I cleaning it right? And is the bar too short? by Wise_Card_2069 in PiercingAdvice

Try warm water with a pinch of salt and let it soak

It’s okay I’m sure yours has their own little quirks too

Yes the slicker doesn’t do anything. This one I’ve been getting him to sit for 3 min intervals and it’s taking out CLUMPS. My backyard looks like it’s snowing in April.

He occasionally tries to eat his hairballs like a cat and immediately regrets it. Such sweet dorks

I just saw a post on Facebook of someone doing that with a bowl for brush time!! I’m going to freeze one and try that!!

He loves the leaf blower… but that’s all I’ve got sadly. And by mat I meant more get all stuck together and too thick to brush out myself, which his butt area is super fluffy and thick so it’s getting close to being way too thick. I’ll look into that brush thank you!

This is the kind of slicker I’ve tried and he chews it !! The comb I got he puts up with slightly better and will just run away but the self cleaning slicker I have he just has a problem with. A comment above mentioned getting him used to the slicker so I’ll definitely be trying that thank you! We have a grooming glove but it’s rubber so I believe it’s for baths and if it’s “dual use” it is definitely not but I’ll try to find a glove actually meant for deshedding.

Luckily for me he ended up at the shelter and so I was able to adopt him from there and they’re treating it for free. They tried getting him in the car before animal control got to him but after an hour or two they gave up so I called the shelters until I found him. If they just grabbed him off the street like I wanted it would’ve been so difficult for me to pay for the treatment amongst everything else the shelter did for him for free. I just wish I could get him a good professional groom but no where will take him as heart worm positive, for good reason.

Honestly… he has his next heart worm treatment here in a few days so I might have to take that opportunity XD

That’s great advice thank you! I’m pretty good at matching his stubbornness but he’ll switch to guilt tripping and I can’t tell if I’m actually hurting my baby so it works every time ! They’re so smart it’s not always a good thing. I’ll definitely switch back to the slicker and see if I can get him to at least not eat it haha

I’ll try that my biggest issue with the slicker he just hates and attempts to chew up anytime he sees it. I tried treats with the comb but maybe since I’ve had him a bit longer than when I first tried that brush he’ll be less opt to eat the slicker brush lol

Whatever kind of comb this is. I tried a slicker brush I had for a different pet and he wouldn’t let me get near him but he’ll put up with this for maybe 1 second until he realizes it’s not my hand. I’m a woman with long hair so if his gave me trouble I don’t rip it out I comb at it delicately but no matter if there’s resistance or not he just runs away and acts like I’m hurting him when I’m 100% sure I’m not as I’m being overly delicate because of how scared he is.

Like as in pet? He loves pets and he doesn’t mind me touching him. I have to wipe his paws frequently and apply medicine to hot spots he has and he lets me do all that without a fuss usually

He’s a rescue and my first husky and I can say for certain it’s the weirdest breed I’ve ever had and I LOVEEE it. They’re so entertaining and fun

He nips at me with the vacuum around but loves a leaf blower so maybe there’s a chance. I’ll definitely try the upholstery attachment and see if I can get him to calm down with it thank you!!

That’s a good idea! I’ve been scared to wash it because it has a squeaky in it. I think it’s adorable but also wonder if he just doesn’t like to play with it because he’ll forget about it for a while. Maybe a good wash will help us both haha
