Introduction
Beagles are hound dogs that are very positive and friendly with everybody. Their way of behaviour can be described as rather mentally stable and physically active.

Care of Beagles
If you groom your dog correctly, you can be sure of its good health and excellent mental state. It is well-known for everybody that every dog needs to be looked after and a beagle is not an exception.
You should pay special attention to the following parts of your pet’s body:

Beagles’ Hair
Taking care of these dogs’ hair is very simple because they have short and wiry hair-covering. That is why here the rules are not difficult at all: you should brush and clean the hair of your pet once in a few days. Also you can use a massage mitten as one of the additional supplies.

You Pet’s Eyes
The eyes are the mirror of the health status of your dog. If there is a small discharge from the corners of the eyes, do not worry, it is absolutely normal. But if there is a lot of this discharge, you should take your dog to a veterinarian.
The process of cleaning the eyes is very simple: you should also use a cotton ball.
Teeth and Claws
These parts of the dog’s body also need care. Brush your dog’s teeth once a week with a special tool. It will help you to avoid dental calculus and teeth destruction.
