FDA warns of another dog-food Salmonella recall

A multi-state recall covers several grain-free kibble lots after routine sampling found Salmonella. The agency says pets can pass the bacteria to people in the household.

For your pack. Check the lot codes on Luna, Storm, and Ghost’s bags. Huskies with sensitive skin already have enough to manage — a GI bug on top of blowout season is a bad week.

Northern breeds struggle in late-summer heat

Veterinary groups are reminding owners of double-coated dogs that thick undercoat is insulation, not a reason to shave. Shade, water, and dawn/dusk walks beat a clipper.

For your pack. Storm is already blowing coat. Shaving would make heat worse, not better — and it is the one thing we never do to this pack.

Zinc-responsive dermatosis still under-diagnosed in Huskies

Crusty paw pads and dull coat in northern breeds are often treated as allergies first. Breed-aware vets are asking owners to mention zinc when those signs show up.

For your pack. Zinc-responsive dermatosis is on the Siberian Husky risk list for Luna, Storm, and Ghost. Worth a line on the next vet visit prep.

Coat blowout season is running late this year

Groomers who work northern breeds say many Huskies are still dropping undercoat in mid-August. Daily line brushing and an undercoat rake beat a single marathon session.

For your pack. Storm’s notes already say daily deshedding. This is the week to stay on the rake, not to book a shave.

Ear cleaning after swimming, not on a calendar

A new owner-education push from veterinary dermatologists: routine weekly ear cleaner can irritate healthy canals. Clean after water, or when you see odor or head-shaking.

For your pack. Ghost is still learning grooming routines. Skip the extra cleaner unless his ears are actually dirty — less fuss, fewer fights.
