Caring for a Irish Wolfhound

Health

As a giant, deep-chested breed, Irish Wolfhounds carry meaningful bloat risk. They're also prone to cardiomyopathy and osteosarcoma (bone cancer), and — like most giant breeds — have a notably short average lifespan, often just 6-8 years.

Nutrition

A large-breed puppy formula through the growth period; adults benefit from meals split to help reduce bloat risk.

Grooming

The rough, wiry coat needs regular brushing to prevent matting.

Training

Gentle and trainable, though early obedience work matters given the breed's eventual giant size — this breed needs only moderate exercise despite its sighthound heritage.

About the breed

The tallest of all AKC breeds, historically bred to hunt wolves and elk in Ireland.

Gentle and dignified despite its massive size, the Irish Wolfhound is famously calm and good-natured with family.
