Winter is here, and as a proud Siberian Husky parent, it’s important to prepare for the unique needs of our furry companions during this season. Every Husky has its quirks—my girl Ms. Maggie Waggie, for instance, hates anything too restrictive on her fur. That’s why I’ve rounded up 10 must-have winter products you can find conveniently at Walmart. Whether your Husky prefers the warmth of indoors or the great outdoors, these essentials are here to keep them happy, healthy, and thriving all season long.

1. Elevated Dog Bed for Indoor and Outdoor Comfort
With indoor temperatures rising in the winter, an elevated dog bed helps keep your Husky cool and comfy. If your pup loves the outdoors like Maggie, an elevated bed for outside use ensures they’re off the cold ground.
2. Insulated Dog House for Outdoor Enthusiasts
For Huskies who adore the winter chill, an insulated dog house provides just the right amount of shelter while allowing them to bask in the snowy weather.
3. Harness Instead of a Jacket
Since many Huskies, like Maggie, don’t enjoy restrictive clothing, swap out jackets for a durable harness. It provides comfort and control for your winter walks without fussing with your Husky’s luxurious coat.
4. High-Quality Shedding Brush
Winter doesn’t stop the shedding! A high-quality shedding brush is a lifesaver. Weekly brushing keeps your Husky’s coat healthy and your floors a little less furry.
5. Paw Balm for Snowy Adventures
Protect those precious paws with paw balm to prevent cracking and dryness caused by icy conditions or salt-treated sidewalks.
6. Winter Lawn Care to Combat Fleas and Ticks
Even in colder months, fleas and ticks can be a threat. Invest in winter-season lawn care treatments to keep pests at bay for a safe outdoor experience.
7. Beef Trachea for a Healthy Chew
Keep your Husky entertained with beef trachea, a natural, protein-rich chew that supports joint health and keeps them busy during long winter nights.
8. Organ Meats and Veggies for Meal Additives
Boost your Husky’s meals with nutritious organ meats (like liver) and dog-safe veggies (like carrots and green beans). These treats are great for added nutrients and winter energy.
9. Durable Dog Toys for Indoor Play
Winter weather often means more indoor time. Keep your Husky engaged with durable chew toys to channel their energy and prevent boredom.
10. A Cozy Spot Near You
Lastly, Huskies are pack animals. Even with their independence, they love staying close to their humans. Create a cozy spot for your Husky near your favorite hangout area to foster connection.
