Pharaoh Hound Grooming Tips

Tips on Grooming Your Pharaoh Hound

    Low Maintenance: The Pharaoh Hound has a short, glossy coat. The texture ranges from fine to slightly harsh. This type of coat is simple to groom. The coat sheds very little, and with regular brushing the Pharaoh should need a bath only rarely.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Pharaoh Hound Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential component of everyday pet care. Combing helps to keep your Pharaoh Hound dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shining coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to reduce the need to bath and therefore lessen the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Pharaoh Hound dog are tasks that help to strengthen the good connection bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Pharaoh Hound

    How frequent 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 latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats normally require less brushing and grooming contrasted 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 pet dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates 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.

Pharaoh Hound Information

Although considered a sighthound in America, the pharaoh hound hunts by both sight and scent, as well as hearing. It has an unexaggerated greyhound-like build, combining grace, power and speed, which enables it to run nimbly along rocky walls and ground. It has a good nose. Its large, mobile ears help it follow animals underground. Slightly longer than tall, the gait is free and flowing, with head held high. The coat is short and glossy.

The svelte pharaoh hound is more than a gracious addition to the home (though it surely is that) — it is a keen hunter and an exuberant chaser. Although it is calm indoors, it loves to run. It is sensitive, loving, gentle and good with children and other dogs, but it may chase strange animals. It tends to be reserved with strangers; some pharaoh hounds are even timid. It is independent but willing to please. The breed has the unique characteristic of "blushing" when excited, with the nose and ears turning a rosy color.
