Estonian Hounds are moderate shedders and require weekly brushing to remove loose fur—as well as an occasional bath to keep them clean and tidy. To reduce the chance of infections, check your pup's ears regularly and clean them as needed to remove wax build-up and debris. Nail trims should also be part of every dog's grooming routine. If your Estonian Hound's nails grow too long, they can cause pain and potentially lead to problems running or walking. Lastly, good dental hygiene will support your dog's overall health. Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions in adult dogs. Left untreated, it can contribute to other serious issues. In addition to professional cleanings, establish an at-home dental care program that includes regular teeth brushing and veterinarian-recommended dental chews.
