Life of a Hound.com

It’s been over a week now since we’ve gotten Lilly, our new basset hound, and boy can we tell a difference in how much she has grown! She seems to be getting more longer and taller all within a week! Of course basset hounds usually grow this way. According to professional dog trainers and veteranairans, basset hounds usually get all their height within the first year. A year or two after that, they fill out. Basset hounds can grow up to 60-70 pounds! We love holding and carrying Lilly as much as possible, because in a few months this is going to be almost impossible to do!

Lilly tends to eat a bunch. We have to limit her food to 1/3 cup, three times a day. We are currently feeding her Royal Canin Baby Dog 30. She loves it and comes recommended by our veteranarian.

In the meantime, we just keep watching our “Baby Lilly” grow and grow.
