Title: Beagle Health Tips
Author: Michelle A Adams
Pet owners are always concerned with the proper way to care for
their animals and when you decide to invest in a beagle for your
family pet then your first concern should be the proper beagle
health care tips. Owning a pet is a lot of work but there are
some very simple ideas you can use to help keep your beagle
healthy and happy and a part of your family for many years to
come. Make sure regular visit to the vet is part of your
beagle's health plan and contact the vet if persistent problems
arise.
Beagles love to eat just like any other living creature and the
idea that there is such a thing as human food separate from any
other creature's food is wrong. A healthy diet for your dog
should consist of properly cooked meats, raw vegetables, and raw
fruits as well. All creatures eat food and you should help keep
your dog healthy by feeding your beagle the foods that are best
for it.
Beagles have a very thick coat so a major part of proper beagle
health is to make sure that their coat is clean and that nothing
has a chance to get in there and cause any major health
problems. Plan on bathing your beagle at least once a month and
if your beagle goes outdoors at all, or comes into contact with
dirty situations, then plan on bathing them more often than once
a month. The benefit is for your family as well because your
family is also coming into contact with your beagle's coat so
keeping it clean is essential.
Your beagle also needs regular grooming as well and some of
this you can do on your own and some of it you may want to leave
to the professionals. Brush your beagle's thick coat regularly
and make sure there are no tangles or debris caught in it. Your
beagle's nails also need regular clipping and while you are
invited to try this yourself this is something you may want to
send out for.
Beagle health concerns are much more than just providing a
balanced diet and bathing. Your beagle's ears are famous for not
only their look, but also their ability to block the proper
airflow in and out of the dog's ear. Check under you beagle's
floppy ears regularly and if you see any build up then contact
your vet right away.
Your beagle's teeth are also in need of attention and this is a
process that starts when they are very young. As a puppy get
your beagle used to your finger gently rubbing across their
teeth. As they get used to it then add a small wrap of wet gauze
to your finger with some baking soda. If they are okay with this
then you can probably move on to a dog toothbrush. Always keep
an eye on your beagle and make sure you make their health your
primary concern for your pet's sake and your family as well.
