Start creatingCare Tips for Otterhounds
Regular Grooming: Otterhounds have a dense, waterproof double coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting and tangles. Brush their coat at least once a week and consider a professional grooming session every few months to maintain their coat's health and appearance.
Adequate Exercise: These active dogs need plenty of physical activity to stay healthy and happy. Engage your Otterhound in daily walks, play sessions, and swimming if possible, as they have a natural affinity for water.
Mental Stimulation: Otterhounds are intelligent and curious, so they benefit from mental challenges. Provide them with puzzle toys, training sessions, and scent games to keep their minds stimulated and prevent boredom-related behaviors.
