Afghan Hound

　　The Afghan Hound has an elegant and majestic appearance, forming a unique style with its beautiful posture. It possesses strong endurance in any harsh environment, astonishing agility, and a robust physique. It gives the impression of nobility, and its long, flowing coat makes it a scenic sight wherever it stands. Every year during the seasonal changes in spring and autumn, the Afghan Hound naturally undergoes shedding. During this period, special attention must be paid when caring for the Afghan Hound's fur. The fundamental requirement is to ensure the dog can smoothly shed and grow healthy, glossy new hair.

　　First, during the Afghan Hound's shedding, it is crucial to groom it daily. Remove the hairs that have shed from the dog's body, promptly clear away dust and dirt from the fur to prevent parasite infestation. At the same time, massage the dog's body to promote blood circulation so that new hair can grow healthily.

　　Second, aside from daily thorough grooming, special attention should be given to diet. We know the dog's hair growth requires sufficient proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Therefore, during the shedding phase, a balanced diet enriched with proteins and vitamins should be provided to ensure the dog receives enough nutrients to support hair growth and guarantee that the new fur grows glossy and beautiful.

　　During the Afghan Hound’s shedding period, besides grooming and providing nutritious food, it is also essential to keep the environment clean. Particularly, the dog’s kennel needs regular disinfection, and the bedding should be replaced and aired timely. This helps better prevent parasite growth, ensuring the Afghan Hound sheds smoothly and grows shiny new fur.
