What You Need To Know About Caring For Your New Mini Husky

By Leslie Ball


It can be fun and exciting to add a new puppy or a new dog to your family. A dog like a mini husky can really add a lot of energy and joy to any family. If you want to make sure that your puppy makes the best transition into a member of your family, here are some care tips that you can use. Then you can rest assured that your pet has the best start possible.

One thing you need to learn is about the breed itself. Many people make the mistake of thinking that because these dogs are smaller than Siberian or Alaskan huskies that they need less care or exercise. This is a mistake. In fact, these diminutive canines need just as much exercise and attention as their full-size counterparts.

The problem with these dogs is that when they do not get regular chances to burn off energy, they can end up becoming hyper and anxious. This can lead to other negative actions and behaviors. You may want to consider choosing a home or apartment where there is access to a fenced yard so that your new pup can roam and burn off steam.

Any new puppy will often be anxious when it is first introduced to a home. Often, if they are young, they will whine or cry excessively. If this is the case with your puppy and you have nothing that smells like the mother or other puppies, you may want to think about using a pheromone product that can relax your dog.

Be prepared for chewing. Puppies will often try to explore and discover things with their mouths. This, along with pressure in their gums from emerging teeth, causes them to want to put as many different objects in their mouths as possible. Making sure you have appropriate items on hand such as bones and chew rings will help keep your puppy happy and out of trouble.

Another thing to think about is a crate. This can help keep your new dog from getting into things while you are not around to watch them. You should also choose bowls that the dog can eat or drink out of easily. Grooming tools can help you keep your dog looking its best as well.

If you are considering grooming tools, you may want to speak to a professional before buying anything. You should buy a good quality brush as well as a pair of canine nail clippers. By trimming nails frequently, you will get your dog used to having its feet touched and keep its nails in good form. Brushes can help keep this breed's coat from tangling and it will keep looking its best.

One thing you will need a lot of is time. By being patient with your new puppy and being prepared for it to join your family you can end up with a confident and affectionate companion that will bring you joy for years to come.
