Bloodhound dog breed price guide for India

The first time you see a Bloodhound in person, you stop walking. We had a customer walk into our Gachibowli store last year who had seen a Bloodhound at a dog show in Hitec City and could not stop thinking about it. Her first question was exactly what you're probably wondering: how much does a Bloodhound actually cost in India?

How much does a Bloodhound puppy cost in India?

Most Bloodhound puppies in India are priced between Rs 60,000 and Rs 1,50,000. Here's a city-wise breakdown: Mumbai Rs 1,20,000-2,00,000, Delhi NCR Rs 1,00,000-1,50,000, Bangalore Rs 90,000-1,50,000, Hyderabad Rs 80,000-1,20,000. Anything significantly below Rs 50,000 warrants serious scrutiny of the source.

Monthly running costs in Hyderabad

Food for an adult Bloodhound (40-55 kg) runs Rs 5,000-8,000 per month on quality kibble. Veterinary care including deworming and tick prevention (non-negotiable in Hyderabad's climate) adds Rs 1,500-3,000 monthly. Bloodhounds are prone to ear infections given their long ear flaps - weekly cleaning is essential. Our grooming services at Cuddle Paws include ear cleaning every 6-8 weeks.

Setup costs people forget

A proper orthopedic bed for a large breed matters enormously for joint health. Browse our premium beds for large breeds. You'll also need a strong harness - Bloodhounds follow their nose and a collar alone won't control them on walks. Add large feeding bowls and an ongoing supply of poop bags to your list.

Is a Bloodhound right for Hyderabad?

Bloodhounds need space - they are not apartment dogs. They howl when bored or confined. Hyderabad's summer heat (above 36C) puts them at risk of overheating, so AC access and early morning walks from March through June are essential. The rest of the year is manageable. On the plus side, they are gentle with families and children.

FAQ

Can a Bloodhound survive Hyderabad's climate? Yes with the right care - indoor AC during summer afternoons, walks only in cooler hours, and year-round tick prevention.

Is a Bloodhound suitable for first-time owners? Challenging. They are independent thinkers who follow their nose over your commands. Start professional training from week one.
