Hi everyone.....I said this before on another post but you should never, ever shave a husky or any dog that has the double coat!!!!

Their coat is made to keep them warm in the winter and protect them from the heat in the summer. Any husky book you find will tell you this. I would be afraid of a vet who didn't know this! They will burn easily, too. Normally, they will blow their coats twice a year.....in the fall when their winter fur comes in and in the spring when they get rid of it. The best thing you can do is brush, brush, brush....gets the dead fur out and stimulates the skin. By the way, I live in Florida and although I wouldn't dream of keeping my dogs outside, they are fine with all their fur and their daily walks in the heat.
