  • Bathing the Afghan Hound is essential to keep its skin and coat clean and odor-free.
  • It is recommended to do this once a month, although in long-haired dogs the frequency can be higher.
  • Finishing with a conditioner is ideal to prevent dehydration, color loss, and matting.
  • When bathing is not possible, dry shampoo is an effective alternative.

3. HYGIENE

  • Keeping the Afghan's ears clean is essential to prevent discomforts such as irritations and itching.
  • Tartar problems, one of the main reasons for veterinary consultation, can be controlled with frequent dental brushing.
  • Light-coated dogs exposed to the sun should be protected with sun products to prevent dryness and color loss.
  • The nose and pads, as they have no hair, require special hydration to prevent injuries.
