Frequently Asked Questions: Pharaoh Hound Teeth
Do Pharaoh Hounds have dental problems?
Pharaoh Hounds have high dental disease risk consistent with sighthound physiology. Their sleek, lean build includes thin jaw bones and minimal gum tissue that provide limited structural support for teeth. Dental disease can advance from mild tartar to significant bone loss faster than in denser-jawed breeds.
How do I brush a Pharaoh Hound’s teeth?
Use a soft toothbrush and gentle daily brushing. Pharaoh Hounds are sensitive, affectionate dogs that typically accept dental routines well when introduced gradually from puppyhood.
When do Pharaoh Hound puppies lose their baby teeth?
Between 3–6 months, gaining all 42 adult teeth by approximately 7 months.
How often do Pharaoh Hounds need professional dental cleaning?
Every 6 months, with dental X-rays to monitor bone density. Pharaoh Hounds are rare enough that finding a vet familiar with sighthound dental physiology is worth the effort.
