Common Health Issues

Afghan Hounds are generally a healthy breed, but like all dogs, they can be prone to certain health issues. Some common health concerns in Afghan Hounds include:

  • Hip Dysplasia: A hereditary condition where the hip joint doesn't develop properly, potentially leading to arthritis and pain.

  • Cataracts: Afghan Hounds may be susceptible to cataracts, which can affect their vision.

  • Bloat: This condition involves the stomach twisting on itself and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

  • Autoimmune Disorders: Some Afghan Hounds may be prone to autoimmune disorders that affect their immune system.


Regular veterinary check-ups, a healthy diet, and responsible breeding practices can help mitigate the risk of these health issues.
