When deciding on a family dog, Beagle puppies can offer fun and
entertainment along with companionship, if you understand the
proper care needed to maintain its health and well-being. Additionally,
one of the most important aspects of caring for a Beagle pup is
taking the time to walk and play with the animal every day.
A Beagle puppy will grow into a loyal and friendly companion
and with the proper training can be an inside pet as well, although
they will need space to roam, but not freely, as it is their natural
instinct to hunt. They can make great pets for apartment dwellers
as long as you are willing to spend the time needed to walk him
two or three times a day, providing up to an hour throughout the
day for your pet to exercise.
Finding a veterinarian who is comfortable around Beagle puppies
is important and they can build a trust with your pet. Follow
the veterinarian’s advice concerning shots and immunizations and
do not be afraid to seek advice about flea and tick control as
well as heartworm medication and worming your dog.
A Beagle pup sheds often and should be brushed several times
a week using a hound glove to remove excess hair as well as a
fine-tooth flea comb to remove any dirt and excess hair. Frequent
brushing will also help eliminate odors and maintain a lustrous
coat. Bathing is not frequently required, unless your Beagle pup
finds something smelly in which to roll around. This breed does
not require special grooming and can be bathed at home. The ears
should be wiped out when the animal is brushed to prevent odors
and to keep them clean and healthy.
Stubborn Streak Offers Training Challenge
Usually, every Beagle puppy comes with a stubborn streak, which
can offer some challenges in training them. However, repetition
and consistency in commands will show results and being patient
with the dog will yield better results. With Beagle puppies, praise
will achieve far better results than punishment.
For health’s sake, watch your Beagle puppy weight. When using
treats as a reward break it into three or four pieces so as not
to over feed the dog. An average animal should only be fed a cup
or a cup and a half of quality dog food daily. Keep your Beagle
pup in a secured yard during the day, avoiding stuffed animal
toys as they can be ripped apart and their pieces swallowed. If
desired, the animal should sleep indoors at night, but not have
the run of the house. When you think you are ready, before picking
up a dog, you should start preparing for your Beagle puppy
