Does the Malamute needs much care?
The Malamute needs to be brushed regularly. To do so, you can use two tools: a brush with metallic bristles for long hair, and a currycomb for the zones where the hair is shorter. During moulting season, usually two times a year, it would be best to brush your dog everyday to remove dead hair. Baths will not be frequent because the Malamute is a neat and odourless dog. You’ll occasionally have to clean his ears with Vaseline or oil applied on absorbent cotton. You’ll also have to cut or have his claws cut, especially if he spends most of his time inside, on non-abrasive surfaces. Finally, teeth should be checked on a regular basis. You should brush them regularly or give the dog special bones to remove tartar.
