Coat & Grooming Tips

The ears of the Bloodhound need special cleaning attention; some tend to collect more dirt and wax than others and which needs to be cleaned prior to the bath.

Facial whiskers are usually clipped, but you should first check with the owner. Use scissors.

Be especially careful to dry the folds of the skin on the Bloodhound. Use your hands during the blow-drying process to open the folded skin and dry with a moderate heat. Once the dog is dry, a light amount of grooming powder, even Baby Powder, applied to the skin within the folds only can help keep the area dry and free from damp skin irritation. Ask grooming suppliers for recommended products.

Soften sore or overly dry elbows, hocks and pasterns with a light moisturizing cream.

More Grooming Tips for Professionals

If the coat doesn't have a shiny sheen to it you may want to add a light coat of protein conditioner spray or coat gloss.
