Care Tips for Scottish Deerhounds

1

Ensure regular exercise: Scottish Deerhounds are active dogs and require daily exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Long walks, runs, or play sessions in a secure area are ideal.

2

Maintain coat health: Brush their wiry coat weekly to prevent matting and remove loose hair. Occasional baths will help keep them clean, but avoid over-bathing to maintain their natural oils.

3

Monitor health and diet: Regular veterinary check-ups are essential to monitor for common breed-related health issues. Provide a balanced diet tailored to their size and energy levels, and avoid overfeeding to prevent obesity.
