Care
The Plott Hound’s striking fur requires minimal grooming to maintain its health and shine. Weekly brushing with a soft-bristle brush or grooming mitt will do the trick. A Plott’s floppy ears also require additional addition. Be sure to regularly inspect and clean their ears with a dog-specific ear cleaning solution.
All dogs require regular dental care, including at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings, and the Plott Hound is no exception. Maintaining good dental hygiene is important for their overall long-term health.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
