Afghan Hound Care Knowledge

Afghan Hound (Detailed Introduction)
The Afghan Hound belongs to an ancient breed. Originally from Afghanistan, many people domestically now raise this breed. Due to regional differences and its relatively long hair that is hard to manage, special attention should be paid to its diet and lifestyle. First, understand its personality and preferences, then select the ingredients and nutrition it likes. However, now that it is hot summer, what should be paid attention to for the Afghan Hound in summer?
What the Afghan Hound Should Pay Attention to in Summer
As the saying goes, "The whole year's work depends on spring," which is true, but summer is an even harder season for both people and dogs.
The hot summer is the most irritating season for people, and of course, it is the same for dogs. Everyone prefers to stay in a cool place to get through the hot summer. At this time, people choose the shade or air-conditioned rooms.
Many owners let their dogs follow them indoors to enjoy the happiness brought by air conditioning. Indeed, this seems good and helpful for the dogs, but this is a big mistake. Although it looks like making the dog comfortable, it affects the dog negatively. Often letting the dog blow air conditioning can cause diarrhea and colds. Therefore, owners should be cautious and not let their dogs be exposed to air conditioning frequently, as this can impact the dog’s health.
When summer arrives, many owners bathe their dogs, which is common knowledge among dog owners. So, what should we pay attention to when bathing dogs? Let's learn about it.
When bathing the dog, do not bathe for too long as it can cause hair loss. Also, when bathing an Afghan Hound, use shampoos and body washes specially formulated for dogs. This protects the dog's coat. Try not to use human shampoos or body wash as they can damage the dog's skin and hair quality. Finally, after bathing, spray some freshener on the dog so that it looks beautiful and gains confidence.
Lastly, don't forget to clean the dog's ears thoroughly after bathing to prevent ear diseases. Also, since the Afghan Hound has long and abundant hair that tangles easily, owners should brush its hair daily. Regularly vaccinate and deworm him.
