    Low Maintenance: It needs daily exercise. The breed will only require a once-a-week brushing and only bathing when necessary. Nails need to be trimmed regularly and ears need to be cleaned every day to avoid ear infections.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Austrian Black and Tan Hound Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of general pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Austrian Black and Tan Hound dog's coat in good condition by getting rid of loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a gleaming coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore lower the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Austrian Black and Tan Hound dog are tasks that help to enhance the positive connection bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Austrian Black and Tan Hound

    How often to brush and groom your dog will rely on each personal dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats normally require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
