What are some common husky feet problems?

Answer by  lpfirman (403)

Huskies rarely have feet problems. They are bred for their feet and legs to be their most sturdy parts. They do commonly have eye issues late in life though.

Depending on your climate area, you may have to look into booties for the dog. Cold climates (and the salt de-icers) can dry and crack their paw pads.

As a breed, Siberian Huskies have no commonly occurring problems with their feet. as a rule they are fastidious about their coats and clean themselves much in the same manner a cat does. They shed quite a bit and blow off their heavy undercoats twice a year. If your Husky has issues with his paws, see a veterinarian.

Huskies have large feet with very soft pads. They have been bred to have excellent traction on ice and snow. As a result in milder climates their paws are more prone to injury. You should periodically inspect the pads for cuts and tears, keep them clean and the hair trimmed to a reasonable length.
