Caring for a Beagle
- Maintenance: Brush once a week to remove excess moulted hair and bathe monthly to keep clean.
- Grooming: Shorthaired breeds should not be clipped as they renew their coats. You can help by brushing the coat with a rubber mitt or brush to remove the excess hair and reduce shedding at home.
- Special Attention: Pay extra attention to the pet's elbows as the skin there is prone to drying and cracking. Also keep an eye on any skin folds which can trap dirt and bacteria that can lead to irritation.
- Recommended Grooming Appointments: A monthly bath is sufficient to help out with the shedding of this breed, make sure to use a moisturising shampoo to benefit both hair and skin.

- During the heavier shedding seasons, pin rakes can be more useful to remove any trapped hair in the coat.
- De-Shedders can help control excess undercoat, but be mindful that there should be enough undercoat left to protect the pet from the cold and heat.
