Question by Heirloomwaters: How common is it for The Siberian husky breed to have Zinc responsive dermatitis?
a skin condition which improves by giving Zinc supplements?
Do you have this problem with your siberian husky or know anyone with a siberian husky that has skin problems?
or is this very rare for the siberian husky breed and most don’t have those problems like they are known for eye and hip problem.
I was just researching the common health problems that a siberian husky has. I want to be educated about the common natural health problems that are most reported and you should beaware of when you buy a puppy from a siberian husky breeder .
Should the breeder show you the health history’s for the last 4 generations to prove their dogs are a High class health Quality dog.

Its not terribly common among well bred dogs, nor is it a critical life threatening disease.
Most crucial are making sure Hips and Elbows have been certified free of dysplasia. You should be able to look up the dog’s parents certification on OFA (www.offa.org) if they are in the US. Also you’ll want to see a current (within a year) CERF certification.
You should get, at minimum a 5 generation pedigree. All dogs in that pedigree should have hip scores.
If this is your first dog, do a LOT of research. Siberian Huskies are fantastic dogs, but are not necessarily great dogs for a first time owner.
Talk at great length to the breeder. If you find the breeder intolerant of being asked questions, go elsewhere!!! A good breeder wants to sell their puppies to well-educated homes.
