Beagle Grooming Methods
Tools/Ingredients
Grooming Tools: Wire Brush, Pin Brush, Bristle Brush
Method/Steps
Brushing:
Brushing your dog's coat with a brush removes dead hair and knots, leaving the coat soft, clean and shiny. As for how to choose a brush, it depends on the quality of your dog's hair. Generally speaking, long-haired, soft-haired dogs are better suited to using brushes, while dogs with steel-haired hair are better suited to using pin brushes and wire brushes.
Wire brush: brush to remove dead hair and make the coat soft. Model: large, medium, small; type: soft wire brush, hard wire brush. Pay attention to the technique when using it. If you don't use it properly, you will lose your hair.
Needle brush: Helps blood circulation, prevents static electricity, and makes skin healthy.
Bristle brush: It can brush off the dust on the surface of the hair, not easy to break the hair, and maintain the luster of the hair. It is one of the essential tools for soft hair care.
Combing:
After brushing, you can start combing the hair with a comb. In many cases, even after one round of combing, many knots remain, so you have to comb it thoroughly again with a comb. The method is to press the bottom of the comb with your thumb, index finger, and middle finger, first comb the hair with wide teeth, and then comb the hair with fine teeth, but do not use fine teeth at the beginning to avoid breaking the hair easily. And when combing the hair, do not pull too hard, as this will not only tear the coat, but also cause extreme pain to the dog. To prevent static electricity, dog combs should be metal.
Ear and eye cleaning:
Dogs’ ears (especially dogs with long ears) are more susceptible to ear infections, so cleaning and checking the ears is an essential part. First put a little ear powder in the ear, tap it a few times, let the ear powder enter the ear, slowly remove it with your fingers or ear hair pliers, then apply ear cleaning water on the cotton, then turn your fingers in the ear to clean it, and finally make sure that the cleaning cotton taken out of the ear is clean and free of stains; after bathing, remember to clean it with ear water. The tear glands of the eyes and earwax are the main causes of facial hair turning brown, so in addition to daily dressing, special treatment is also required when bathing.
Bathing:
It is best to bathe Beagle puppies two months after they are born and at least two weeks after they have been vaccinated. If you are bathing a beagle puppy raised outdoors, you should wash it 3 to 4 times a year. If you are raising it indoors, it is better to wash it once every 20 days to a month. Dogs' skin doesn't sweat as easily as humans, so they don't need to be bathed as often. When taking a bath, put the puppy in warm water at 36°C to 38°C, and first remove the secretions near the anus. Then soak the sponge in a pet-specific shampoo diluted dozens of times, and then wash the whole body from the head to the back. Finally, clean the hair with clean water. What you need to be careful about is: don’t let shampoo get into your dog’s eyes, nose and mouth.
