The Siberian Huskie is a breed that thrives in the cold, having originated in the icy tundra of Siberia. Thanks to their double layer, which protects them from the cold and acts as insulation, they are well-suited to cold climates.

When taking wind chill into account, this breed can resist temperatures as low as -30°F (-34°C) or lower, and it may even flourish in such extreme cold. A rich undercoat and guard hairs work together to provide an efficient and natural insulation system that keeps warm air close to the body.

Siberian Huskies are cold-weather experts, but their thick coats make them sickly hot in hot weather. In warmer weather, the breed's tendency to overheat becomes problematic, since it leaves them vulnerable to heat-related problems. Excessive heat, over 70–75°F (21–24°C), may be painful, especially for those who exercise often. Because of this, conscientious dog owners should be aware that Huskies are quite sensitive to changes in temperature.

Preventative actions are essential for the safety of Siberian Huskies in hot and cold climates. During the winter months, it is crucial to provide them with sufficient cover to protect them from harsh weather conditions, such as cold, wind, and rain. During warmer weather, it is crucial to ensure that people have access to shade and to provide enough of water to prevent dehydration.

Another way to keep your Husky from overheating is to keep him or her from engaging in vigorous activity when the weather is hot. This rare and climate-sensitive breed can cohabit peacefully because of the careful management of its habitat.
