Basset Hound Weather Tips
Limit outdoor time to 20 minutes. Stick to grass, bring water, and avoid pavement.
Limit outdoor time to 25 minutes. Use a coat and watch for shivering.
“Basset Hounds have the second-best nose in the dog world (after Bloodhounds). Storm-related pressure changes overwhelm their olfactory system — it's like someone turning the volume to max.”
“Their low-to-the-ground build means pavement heat hits them more intensely — both radiant heat from below and reflected heat at their height.”
