jkiddo63 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 We have 4 Huskys - 2 full blooded and 2 mixed with German Shepard. One of the full blooded ones looks pitiful after her undercoat blows. Her fur becomes extremely course and she looks like she loses weight. I know their size looks larger due to the coat; but I hate my girls to not look good. They only eat Blue Buffalo Wilderness. Any help would be so appreciated. She is about 4 yrs old, so this isn't the first time she had done this. ...I just want to help her.

mydiamond Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I don't think you need to help her in any ways. She's just wearing her summer coat... which is designed to be shorter and coarser. The coarse fur is just the guard hair. EDIT: oh gosh I can't believe I forgot to say this. WELCOME to Husky-Owners enjoy your stay! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkiddo63 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Ok. I just know the other one is always soft and full looking, even after her undercoat blows. The two mixed girls are different and blow their coats a little differently. Just wanted to make sure she's ok or I'm not missing anything that she may need Thank you. I just found the site and love it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Do you have a pic of your fur kids? My baby boy is a wooly, and he remains soft-coated no matter what because he's lacking guard hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Aw, pretty pups they both look normal-coated, though so I have no idea why they have different summer coats but yeah it's nothing to worry about x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkiddo63 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 The one that is so course was very sick when we rescued her. The vet said she would not live thru the night. She had been with us about 4 1/2 years now. We got her at about 7 weeks. She was so pitiful. She is healthy. .. just course.

mylilhuskyboyICE Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Could always speak to your vets about adding in a supplement to her food which makes her coat fuller? i mean im sure they're fine and but if its bothering you that much speak to your vet about it Welcome to husky-owners They're all very beautiful btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkiddo63 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thank you. She was just so sick as a pup that I want to make sure she's ok. The vet said she was healthy; I just want her to look good all the time. Thank you. They are our kids. All of our human kids are grown and gone ( 6 between us ) and they are our family now. They are all rescues. .. different situations for each, but we have really enjoyed them Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
