﻿We all love our little cuddle monsters and we all want them to live a long and happy life.
But unfortunately, many of us are unknowing making mistakes
that can shorten the life of our beagle.
Mistake number 1. Washing their head first First of all, Beagles have a short and thick coat,
they do not need as frequent baths as some other breeds.... Unless your beagle has spent their
evening splashing in a muddy puddle, they do not need to bathe more than once a month. And when
it’s time for their bath, most of us do it wrong. Parents often start by washing their beagle’s head
first. This is not recommended at all. With a wet head, your beagle can easily catch a cold.
So keep the head for the end. The 2nd mistake owners do is ignore their
dog’s dental care. All of us consider our beagle as a part of the family. But unfortunately, not
every one of us brushes our beagle’s teeth daily. Your pup’s teeth may seem strong and healthy now
but ignoring their dental hygiene can lead to many canine dental problems like tooth decay,
swollen gums, dental infection, tartar buildup, and cavities. It is highly recommended to brush
your beagle with canine toothpaste twice a day, or at least three times a week.
Mistake number 3: Leaving your beagle alone in the apartment for a long time.
Beagles are family dogs. They thrive on love and affection. They need people around them.
It’s okay to leave them alone for few hours once in a while. But leaving them
alone in an apartment every day for more than 6 hours will lead to some serious behavioral
problems. They may become aggressive, or start destroying furniture, or bark excessively.
It’s not good for their well-being. Mistake number 4. Taking them to the vet
less often. A lot of parents skip visiting the vet unless there’s something wrong with their beagle.
Please do not do that. Routine vet visits can help prevent diseases and health problems.
Every dog owner must visit the vet for routine health check-ups at least once a year.
The 5th mistake that a lot of dog owners do is feeding them table scraps. Now beagles love food,
they will literally eat anything you give them. But this doesn’t mean everything you eat is
healthy for your dog. Dog’s digestive system isn’t set up for human food.
Many of the food that are healthy for us, are toxic for our dogs. So please select
the ingredients that you feed your dog carefully. Now I know it’s hard to resist those puppy eyes,
but trust me you are doing them a favor by not giving them food from your plate.
Mistake number 6. Not training them once they grow up. Parents often stop training
their beagles once they grow up. Please dont do that. Dogs need mental stimulation.
Training them and teaching new tricks makes them feel useful. Apart from that training can
be a great bonding session for your two. Mistake number 7. Not taking them outside enough.
Beagles are hunting dogs. They instinctively love to run and chase things and play outside.
Not giving them their instinctive pleasure is the worst thing you can do to them.
Take them out for walks twice a day and let them sniff things around. Put them on a long leash and
let them run in an open ground. Take them to a dog park and let them interact with other dogs.
Your beagle will be happier and healthier than ever before.
