How much do coonhounds shed?

Coonhounds shed a moderate amount throughout the year, with some seasonal increase. Depending on the breed, their coats are short and smooth to dense and coarse. Weekly brushing is typically sufficient to remove loose hairs, prevent matting, manage shedding, and keep their fur healthy. 

You can use a bristle brush or rubber grooming mitt to effectively capture shed hair. During peak shedding seasons in spring and fall, more frequent brushing may be necessary. Regular brushing also helps distribute natural oils, promotes a shiny, healthy coat, and reduces the risk of skin issues.
