Pharaoh hound doesn't need a lot of grooming. It can be modified regularly with a soft brush every week, and an occasional bath can keep it in the best condition for cleaning. Special care should be taken to keep its ears clean so as not to accumulate wax and debris.
Regularly shorten nails to avoid excessive growth, splitting and cracking. Brush teeth regularly and have the veterinarian perform an examination every year. Pharaoh usually does not have a "dog smell", so if there is a smell, please check its reasons.
As an active and energetic dog, it requires daily exercise like walks, playing or jogging. Let your Pharaoh walk or run at least 15 to 20 minutes twice a day.
Because of its strong hunting instinct, please keep in mind that never allow it to run off-leash, or you will have difficulty to catch it. You can also offer it an enclosed area with a tall fence without any leash on the dog.
Pharaoh hound will have a healthier body when it is fed the right high-quality diet. It's better to have foods that contain easily digestible nutrients and maintain a balance of meat proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to suit their exercise and age.
It is recommended to feed the Pharaoh Hound with a fresh diet such as freshly cooked poultry, mutton, white, avocado, wheat, and corn.
Pharaoh hounds are usually a healthy breed and are not prone to serious health problems. Its lineage is still largely pure, and hereditary health problems are exceptionally rare.
However, the dog may have certain health conditions, including hip and elbow dysplasia, bone dislocation and eye disease. With short coats and thin skin, it may not be able to tolerate the cold well and may have some skin problems.
The Pharaoh Hound has a high level of intelligence, is able to learn quickly and eager to please, and responds well to training. But it may be somewhat stubborn and not very responsive to punishment.
When it suddenly finds itself in a "free state", it will not listen to the call. it needs to be actively intensive trained to achieve the best results with an optimistic attitude and exaggerated praise.
