What you Need to Groom your Beagle
While Beagle care usually requires little to keep your pet clean
and looking healthy, there are a few pet grooming items you should
have on hand from the day you bring your Beagle puppy home with
you. Items that will make keeping the skin and coat healthy and
clean as well as provide other Beagle care benefits.
One of the first things you will want to have is a hound glove
for brushing your pet on a regular basis, usually two or three
times a week as part of regular Beagle care. This helps keeps
the Beagle’s coat clean and soft as well as helping to remove
loose hairs. A soft brush can also be used and brushing should
be supplemented with the use of a flea comb to remove smaller
bits of dust and dirt to prevent any odors from appearing on your
pet.
Nail clippers are also needed to clip the toenail about every
two weeks, depending on how active the pet is and how fast the
nails wear down during regular exercise. As part of a Beagle care
regimen, they are available in either pliers style or a guillotine
and either one will work as long as they are sharp. If you cannot
change the blades throw then away and pick up a new pair of trimmers.
Dull nail cutters will pinch the pet’s toes when using them and
may cause uneven cutting.
Beagle Hair Cuts Not Normally Needed
Unless you plan to show your Beagle, haircuts are not a normal
part of Beagle care, but you may find a need to trim a few spurious
hairs or even the eye lashes if they begin to threaten to grow
into your Beagle’s eyes. Your Beagle’s short hair should remain
looking clean and healthy just through regular brushing.
Occasionally, your pet may find a need to roll around in dirt
or something more objectionable and you will want to give him
a bath. Using no tears pet shampoo is recommended and the dry,
no rinse shampoos will also work well for Beagle care in case
of the need for a bath. Additionally, a tooth scaler will be handy,
as the pet gets older to help remove tartar that will develop
on its teeth, if tartar control dog treats do not do the job.
Professional breeders and veterinarians also offer advice on
Beagle grooming as part of a regular Beagle care program and can
give you some expert grooming tips for your Beagle.
