Do basset hounds shed a lot?

Basset hounds do shed, but they are not considered a high-shedding breed. They have short, smooth coats that require minimal grooming. To keep a basset hound's coat in good condition, brush it regularly with a soft brush to remove dead hair and dirt. You should also bathe your basset hound as needed, usually every 8-12 weeks.

Although basset hounds do not shed as much as some other breeds, they can still leave behind a lot of hair. To control the amount of hair your basset hound sheds, you can:

* Brush your dog regularly to remove dead hair.

*Bathe your dog regularly with a gentle shampoo.

*Use a shedding brush or comb to remove dead hair.

*Feed your dog a high-quality diet that contains plenty of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

If you are concerned about your basset hound's shedding, talk to your veterinarian.
