Do you need to groom a Redbone Coonhound?

Yes, you need to groom a Redbone Coonhound, though their grooming needs are relatively low compared to some other breeds. Their short, smooth coat benefits from weekly brushing with a rubber curry brush or a hound glove. Unless they get very dirty, Redbone Coonhounds need a bath every couple of months or as needed. 

Due to their long, floppy ears, Redbone Coonhounds are prone to ear infections. Regular ear checks and cleaning are essential to prevent buildup of wax, dirt, and moisture. Trim their nails every three to four weeks and brush their teeth daily to prevent dental disease.
