Care
Their short light coats need minimal care, with a heavy weekly brushing sufficient to maintain their health. They will likely need their nails trimmed, and you should make sure their ears are clean as well. They don’t exude a doggy odor usually, so if they do smell, it is important to get it checked out.
All dogs require regular dental care, including at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings, and Pharaoh Hound is no exception. Maintaining good dental hygiene is important for their overall long-term health.
Your veterinarian is always a good source to help provide you with appropriate nutrition and feeding guidelines.
