Short legs,
floppy ears and a renowned sense of smell make Basset hounds a unique breed for
any dog owner. While initially bred for hunting rabbits and small game, Bassets
have a gentle demeanor, making them great companions for children of all ages. If
you are looking for a mellow dog, this is the breed for you – Bassets love to
nap! When awake, they are generally docile unless they catch the scent of
something they like, in which case you better hope you have a leash!
Due to their
love of food and relative inactivity around the house, Bassets are prone to
weight gain. It is best to use high quality, easily digestible foods that
contain a large percentage of protein. This helps ensure that nutrition is
easily absorbed and the Basset is not enticed to overeat. The Basset is also
prone to food allergies. Evanger’s line of Grain Free Game Meats such as Grain Free Rabbit is an
ideal way to add quality, low-allergy protein to a Basset’s diet. Try mixing it
with Evanger’s Grain-Free Meat Lover’s Medley or Grain-Free Chicken with Sweet Potato & Pumpkin dry food to give your Basset a nutritious
meal he will love!
