Grooming

Afghan Hounds need constant maintenance for their luxurious, silky coat, the most important of which is combing it regularly to prevent mats and tangles. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day, or several times a week, is ideal. If you want to keep your hair from being hurt when you style it, use a pin brush or soft bristle brush and gently glide from the ends to the roots.

You should be careful while bathing an Afghan Hound since, unless it's clearly dirty or stinky, its coat won't need washing very often. They risk dryness and discomfort if they bathe too often since it removes their natural oils. To prevent residue buildup, use a gentle dog wash and rinse well.

Afghan Hounds are prone to dirt and debris accumulation in certain parts of their bodies, such the paws, ears, and tail. Not only does regular trimming keep these areas clean, but it also helps to create a neat look. The natural "hare foot" shape may be achieved by shaping the hair around the feet, which some owners choose to do.

In order to keep your Afghan Hound comfortable and free of gait problems, it is essential to cut his nails regularly to prevent overgrowth. Hiring a professional groomer or doctor is a good choice if you don't feel comfortable cutting your pet's nails yourself.

Because of their large ears, Afghan Hounds are more likely to track in dirt and water, which may lead to illnesses. Preventing ear problems starts with regular checkups and cleaning using an ear cleaner prescribed by your veterinarian. The long hair around their eyes may also trap dirt and grime, so it's best to wipe it gently with a moist cloth to keep it clean.

In order to take care of their Afghan Hound's unique requirements, many owners choose to have their dog professionally groomed every few months. The entire grooming needs of Afghan Hounds may be fulfilled with precision and skill by professional groomers who are skilled in trimming and shaping the coat.
