How to care for the Scottish Deerhound's hair? The care of the Scottish Deerhound is not very troublesome, but you must pay attention to some care details. Let's focus on the daily care of the Scottish Deerhound.

A thorough daily brushing with a spike brush is enough to keep it healthy and clean. Use a metal comb to easily remove dirt and foreign matter. The mud dries quickly and can be removed by gently shaking it. The finger or toenail should be kept at a certain length. If it is too long, there will be a harsh sound of scraping the ground when moving; but it should not be too short. If the length is not enough, it will not provide enough friction (Scottish Deerhound relies on friction as power when running) one). Although this breed does not need to be deliberately groomed, it is still necessary to remove dirty hair and dead skin with a large shearing knife every week. At the same time, it is also advisable to trim the tail hair frequently and gently, check the teeth and ears frequently, and remove tartar and earwax to avoid inflammation. Some Scottish Deerhounds are susceptible to diseases such as portadenitis, so it is important to keep the area around the door clean.

As an exhibiting dog, some preparations need to be made, such as taking a bath in advance; for harder hair, an appropriate amount of shampoo needs to be added to the bath. The Scottish Deerhound's hair is soft and fluffy after washing, and it takes about a few days to make it docile and smooth. In order to participate in exhibitions, some people tend to pluck the hair on the ears, and some people tend to pluck the messy hair on the abdomen to make the outline look fresh and neat. There is no clear requirement here, but you must not pluck the hair on the top of the head.

In the Scottish Deerhound, the feet are the only place where the scissors can be used. Trim excess long hair between the leg pads and along the edges of the toenails to more fully reveal the outline of the legs.

The only problem you may encounter during grooming is that the hair on your elbows sometimes becomes stiff and unsightly. At this time, you can provide your dog with a soft ball of grass or cloth and let it lie down and flatten it. If that still doesn't work, you can spray some ointment or grease to saturate the hair.

The Scottish Deerhound only needs a brush and comb to enter the showroom with confidence, because the respect for nature is particularly prominent in this breed. Owners who promote natural beauty may consider this breed.
