Are Afghan Hounds Hard to Take Care Of?

Grooming an Afghan Hound can be a high-maintenance task due to their long, flowing coat. Here are some grooming considerations for Afghan Hounds:

  • Regular Brushing: Afghan Hounds require daily brushing to prevent mats and tangles in their long fur.

  • Bathing: Periodic baths are necessary to keep their coat clean and free from dirt and debris.

  • Professional Grooming: Many Afghan Hound owners opt for professional grooming, which includes trimming their coat and maintaining their overall appearance.

  • Ear Care: Their long ears require regular cleaning to prevent ear infections.

  • Nail Trimming: Regular nail trimming is essential to keep their nails at a comfortable length.

  • Eye Care: Afghan Hounds' eyes are prone to tearing, so wiping their eyes daily can help prevent staining.


It's important to consider the grooming requirements of Afghan Hounds before bringing one into your home. If you don't have the time or inclination for regular grooming, this breed may not be the best choice for you.
