Lana Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ok once again in the dark about this one. I notice that my baby and her brother both do what i call clean themselves. Yes just like a cat, except behind the head and ears, Lana licks her coat as is she is cleaning herself. Now we do bathe her (in another post about Bathing Siberian Husky) but she still licks herself everywhere she can get just about. Now if your thinking about fleas i would have to say a strong but proud no! She doesnt bit like a dog would with fleas she licks, and licks. I personally have not seen this in a dog unless its an open wound. Most of all i know cats get hairballs but never heard of a dog getting hair balls? Then again that is not something we walk up and ask our members. Does your dog Clean themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjk Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 huskies do clean themselves, and have been likened to cats for their fastidiousness for being clean micha cleans herself quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I hardly ever see my dogs wash themselves, dirty devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes, my two wash in a cat-like fashion! We've had Myshka nearly 4 years & never had a fur-ball problem with her cleaning herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjk Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I hardly ever see my dogs wash themselves, dirty devils. maybe you just dont see it. do they smell very doggy? the husky we walk during the day "logan" doesnt smell like dog at all. micha sadly is a stinker, but thats because she swims every day. looking forward to winter, when hopefully she wont swim, and will loose her odour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiba Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 My sibe does that "nibble and lick" routine like a cat. All the time. Frankly i cant figure out why God didnt give Huskys rough tongues like cats. Because without the sandpaper tongues, well, they're really just getting themselves all slobery. Yuck. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
