Care
Wire-haired Podengos shed in sections. So, you should brush regularly to remove dead hair and keep your dog’s coat looking its best. Smooth-coated dogs don’t need as much grooming—an occasional sweep with a brush will do.
Portuguese Podengos need periodic baths and monthly nail trims. It’s also a good habit to inspect your dog’s ears frequently for wax buildup and debris.
All dogs need dental care, which should include daily teeth brushing and occasional professional cleanings. Maintaining good dental hygiene is essential for your pup’s overall health.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
