#16 East Siberian Laika puppies cannot be bathed in principle.
Adults should not be washed unnecessarily either, since the protective grease is removed from the skin and wool together with shampoo and water. It is enough to wipe the dirty pet with a damp cloth and rinse the dirty paws in lukewarm water without using dog cosmetics. It is strongly discouraged to wash the East Siberian Laika on the eve of the exhibition since hair deprived of the fat layer looks less aesthetically pleasing and there is a risk of getting a low score from the judges for the exterior.
#17 You need to comb the yard East Siberian Laika twice a week during the molting period and once a week at all other times.
With apartment Laika, the frequency of brushing will have to be increased if you do not want the dwelling to turn into a warehouse for wool. If the dog is constantly and productively hunting, the "pedicure" of the claws is allowed to be neglected, since the plate is naturally ground. Easterners, who travel to exhibitions more often than work, need to carefully trim their claws. The ears of the East Siberian Laika are checked after each trip to the forest, or a couple of times a week if the dog spends time in the yard.
#18 It is better to remove excess wax inside the ear funnel with a cloth moistened with hygienic lotion.
Mandatory measures are the treatment of wool from ticks and ectoparasites, as well as periodic boiling of the mattress on which the animal sleeps. It is Laika and removes contamination from them with a clean cloth moistened with strong chilled tea. If your eyes are suddenly red or watery, try applying tetracycline ointment Laika will have to be taken to the veterinarian.
