Tips on Grooming Your Beagle

    Low Maintenance: Beagles are easy-care dogs who don’t need a lot of fancy grooming. Trim his nails regularly, usually every couple of weeks. They should never be so long that you hear them clicking on the floor.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Beagle Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important component of standard pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Beagle dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shining coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore decrease the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Beagle dog are activities that help to reinforce the good connection bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Beagle

    How often to brush and groom your dog will depend upon each personal dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats typically require less brushing and grooming contrasted to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep an eye on the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
