Basset Hounds are simple to groom, with the exception of washing the ears and facial folds and cleaning off the saliva they end up leaving behind. Their thin hair coat is water- and dirt-resistant. They rarely require bathing (unless they decided to roll in something extremely stinky), and all that is required to maintain the condition of their coats is a thorough cleaning with a scrubbing brush, a rough rag, or a hound mitten. All year long, Basset Hounds shed, however, if you groom them once a week, this should not be a concern.
The large, dragging ears of the Basset Hound can become exceedingly filthy. Since air doesn't flow effectively through the inner ear, ear infections are another problem. Your Basset Hound's huge paws should be examined for blisters between both toes. The inner part of a Basset Hound’s ears should be cleaned with a solution suggested by your veterinarian usually once per week. You should also clean the exterior of his ears to get rid of any debris, clear out the wrinkles on his face with a moist towel, and completely dry them.
