Bloodhound Dog Grooming Instruction - Brushing Hair and Coat
Most dog's hair and coats need some attention. The Bloodhound dog grooming instruction for caring for your dog's hair or coat is as follows:

  • This breed of dog and puppy has a short coat so there isn't any worry of the hairs tangling or knotting. However, this breed tends to shed constantly throughout the year so it is important to groom their coat at least once per week to ensure that any dead hairs are removed
  • Begin with the head of the dog, comb or brush through the coat following the direction of the hair growth using a rubber hound brush
  • Please note that this breed can become quite smelly as it has a natural dog odour

Bloodhound Dog Grooming Instruction - Bathing your Dog
Bathing your dog is very important for its health and hygiene. During bathing check your dog for lumps, bumps, parasites, fleas and skin irritations or allergies. Bloodhound Bathing instruction is as follows:

  • Wash your dog or puppy when they are dirty or smell!
  • Gather bathing equipment and place bathing tools and shampoo near to bathing area
  • Place a mat and towel next to bath
  • Check the water temperature of the bath - ensure that a minimal amount of water is used
  • Gradually place the dog in the bath - be aware that this may frighten your pet
  • Gently shampoo your pet - be careful of delicate areas such as eyes and ears
  • Rinse shampoo and towel dry. Then brush the hair

Bloodhound Dog Grooming Instruction - Trimming Nails
Some dogs do not need their nails trimmed as they are kept short by general activities. However, should your dog's nails become long then they should be trimmed. It is important to know exactly what you are doing, as cutting too deep into your Bloodhound dog's nails can cause damage and pain. Written instruction is not enough as the risk of hurting your Bloodhound is too high.

  • Your vet can help initially by demonstrating how to trim your dog's nails and supervise your first attempt
  • Spend some time touching your dog's paws and gently squeezing the area around the nails in order to familiarize them with this sensation
  • Seek advice from your vet about the most appropriate nail clippers for your pet
