Care
The Basset Bleu’s short coat doesn’t require a lot of grooming. Weekly brushing is usually enough to keep it free of loose hair and dirt.
Because of their long ears, Basset Bleus may be more prone to ear infections. Check their ears regularly for dirt or wax build-up, and clean them as needed. Nail trims and dental care—including at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings—should also be part of their routine care.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
