Do Treeing Walker Coonhounds shed?

Yes, Treeing Walker Coonhounds shed moderately. They have a short, dense coat that is smooth and glossy. This coat type is relatively low-maintenance and doesn’t require extensive grooming. To keep their coat healthy and shiny, it’s sufficient to brush them once a week with a rubber grooming mitt or a bristle brush, which helps to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils.

In addition to brushing, it’s important to check their ears weekly since their floppy ears can be prone to infections. Wiping their ears with a damp cloth or using an ear-cleaning solution recommended by a veterinarian can help prevent ear problems. Like all dogs, Treeing Walker Coonhounds also benefit from nail trims every two to four weeks and weekly dental care to maintain overall health and hygiene.
