The husky I live with here is as happy as anything, although I must point out, he always has fresh cold water, shade, and air conditioning whenever he gets too hot.
Most of the time, he chooses to be out in the sunshine playing on the beach. Many people ask if huskies need air conditioning and the answer totally depends on where you live and your home. You may live in a hot climate but if your house is primarily in the shade and you have cool marble tiles, your rooms may not actually get that hot, therefore AC may not be necessary.
Fortunately, most homes in hot climates have air-conditioning fitted as standard. Huskies love the snow and they do feel at home in cold weather. Yes, huskies can live in Florida, but will it be ideal for them?
Huskies also require a lot of exercise on a daily basis. One must ask themself how possible this will be if you have to do it in degree heat. This is perhaps the biggest challenge of living somewhere hot. It all comes down to how well you are able to support them.
Siberian Huskies have beautiful double-layered coats that are very thick. The Husky has a special, dense coat so it could withstand the extremely low temperatures it faced when in Siberia.
It consists of two layers — a dense undercoat the primary coat and a thicker outer coat that consists of guard hairs. During the spring, the thick undercoat that protected the Husky during the winter will shed usually in large clumps. It will then re-grow, but a lot thinner for the hotter summer months. This thinner coat provides protection from the sun and also from insects. Then, after summer this thinner coat will come out and a thicker one will grow in its place in time for winter.
So, you can see the problem. Hopefully, this article has been of some help to you if you are considering buying a Siberian Husky for your Florida home. There are quite a lot of things to consider when investigating this, most of them related to the temperature and how much hotter it is than their ideal climate.
There are, however, so many other breeds of dog that are great with a family set-up, and handle the temperatures here better, you would not be doing your due diligence if you did not explore other breeds also.
So, what kind of temperatures are typically seen in Florida? Are Maine Coons Lazy or Active? To protect a Husky from the summer heat, take precautions to keep your dog cool. Cancer is a leading cause of death in older dogs.
Your Husky will likely live longer than many other breeds and therefore is more prone to get cancer in his golden years.
Many cancers are cured by surgically removing them, and some types are treatable with chemotherapy. Early detection is critical! Yes, the Siberian Husky is quite adaptable and is perfectly able to have a good life in a hot climate. Extreme care must be taken though when exercising outside with adequate breaks in shaded areas and plenty of water provided.
Siberian Huskies are ideal in colder climates. Do I need to wash my dog after the beach? You should always give your pet a thorough rinse after a trip to the beach in order to remove any sand or salt that has built up in their fur, which could cause skin irritation.
An older dog will bond with you, often harder and faster than a puppy, because a rescue dog knows what it is like to lose his family, or to be kept in an animal shelter, or to live on the streets without the love and affection of a good family.
If you decide a puppy is still the only route for you, please keep in mind that our rescue rarely has puppies in need of homes. Huskies adapt to the weather here in Florida just like humans do. However, Huskies will often sun themselves for minutes at time. Dogs do not sweat like humans so the hair helps insulate them from the heat as well as the cold. They cool themselves from panting from the mouth and sweating at the paws.
In Florida, their undercoat will not get as thick as it would if they lived in Alaska as compensation for the difference in temperature. Shaving your Husky will change the way their coat looks and feels and quite often it will grow back with different color tones.
Also, Huskies have no pigment in their skin due to the fact they are supposed to have hair and they can become sun burned very easily. They are also more susceptible to heatstroke since the hair helps them keep cool. YES they do! During regular shedding times, you need to comb out your Husky a couple of times a week.
