This breed has a short coat that requires minimal care. Brushing it once a week with a strong bristle brush or a grooming mitt should be plenty. All dogs require regular dental care, including at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings, and the Transylvanian Hound is no exception. Maintaining good dental hygiene is important for their overall long-term health.
As with any dog, it’s important to monitor the amount of food and treats that you give your Transylvanian Hound, especially since some older dogs are prone to gaining weight as they age. Your veterinarian is always a good source to help provide you with appropriate nutrition and feeding guidelines.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
