Instructions
Brush out with slicker and pin brushes and steel combs. Alaskan Malamutes have a dense double coat which can mat and tangle easily, so brushing often is a must. Make sure you brush them out before bathing them. To make things easier on the dog, try using a protein coat conditioner or a detangling solution while brushing out their coats. This breed sheds immense amounts of hair. Their undercoat comes out twice a year in clumps of hair. Their intense shedding renders bathing almost completely unnecessary, as dirt comes out with the hair.
Make things easier on your dog; try using a protein coat conditioner or a detangling solution while brushing out her coat. This breed sheds immense amounts of hair and the undercoat comes out twice a year in large clumps.
Trim stray hairs around the feet and between the pads using scissors.
Dry shampoo when necessary. Malamutes are odorless. If you do choose to bathe them, use a high velocity dryer to remove excess water while towel drying. Their intense shedding makes bathing almost completely unnecessary, as dirt comes out with the hair.
