Lots of shedding

Hi! Our 8 year old basset has been shedding A LOT the last week. Every time I brush him he has soooo much hair come off – even when he is just pet, hair comes off. At first I thought maybe because it is very hot that he is shedding basically as much as he can, but now I’m wondering if this is an issue – or can just keep brushing him and letting all that comes off to come off? We did go on a long vacation (where we were away from him) recently so I wonder if it could be stress related and if so, is it still ok to brush him?
