Basset Hound Puppy Feeding Instructions:

Your puppy has been used to eating Purina Puppy Chow two times per day. We feed our puppies approximately 2/3 cup - two times per day. As your puppy grows you will need to change your feeding schedule to suite your puppies needs. By five or six months of age: Your puppy should be ready to go from 3/4 to 1 cup, 2 times per day. At one year: You should be able to feed your dogs 2 cups - two times per day.

Grooming:

You need to brush your dog at least two to three times per week. Rub your puppy around the ears, toes, under its arms and brush his/her teeth at least three times per week. Offer healthy and hard doggie treat in between. Be sure and clip your puppies toe nails once per week. Begin immediately! Dogs can have fear of toe nail clipping, but if you begin early it will be much easier for them to get used to it. Just be cafeful not to cut them too short. I have clipped their toenails for you prior to leaving here, along with a bath.
