Azakawh Puppy Weight Calculator

Key growth-related issues to monitor include:
Hip dysplasia – though lean, Azawakhs can still develop joint issues if overexercised or improperly nourished.
Panosteitis – a condition causing limping during rapid growth.
Hypothyroidism and autoimmune disorders are more common in some bloodlines.

Feed a high-quality large-breed puppy formula from weaning through 12 months.
Until 6 months, offer 3 meals per day, then reduce to 2 meals daily.
Azawakhs have fast metabolisms—underfeeding or low-protein diets can lead to stunted growth and weakness.
Choose foods with lean proteins and healthy fats to support their athletic build. Avoid overfeeding, as this can stress their delicate bone structure.

Because of their short, delicate coats, Azawakhs just need a weekly brushing with a rubber mitt or soft brush to get rid of excess hair. They rarely require showers, shed very little, and have no smell. Regular nail care, ear cleaning, and the provision of clothing during chilly weather are examples of essential maintenance.

Azawakh puppies are energetic and need daily movement, but their joints are still developing:
Provide frequent, short walks and off-leash play in secure areas.
Avoid high-impact activities (such as jumping and stair climbing) until after 12 months.
Mental enrichment (like scent games and obedience tasks) helps channel their alertness and intelligence.
