Basset Hound

Basset Hounds (40-65 pounds) are laid-back, friendly, and stubborn, great for relaxed families. Their gentle temperament suits kids, but their heavy build needs supervision around toddlers. Low energy requires 30-60 minutes daily of walks; their short coat needs occasional brushing.

Feed 2-3 cups daily of Iams Proactive Health Adult Lamb & Rice Formula, with 22% protein to support their frame and prevent obesity, common in Bassets. Limit treats to protect joints. Primarily indoor dogs, they adapt to small spaces but enjoy yards. Training manages stubbornness.

Ideal for patient owners seeking a loyal, low-energy companion, Bassets aren’t for high-activity or strict training needs.
