Let's face it, beagles are good-looking dogs
0:03
But just like with humans, a little extra grooming can go a long way
0:08
We're not talking about additional visits to a groomer. After all, those can get very pricey
0:14
Let's take a look at 7 beagle grooming hacks that can help to ensure that your beloved beagle is always looking their best
0:21
all while saving your precious time and money. Always brush before bathing
0:27
For short-haired dogs, beagles sure shed. A lot. And a simple way to save yourself some time is to give your dog a thorough brushing before every bath
0:38
You could skip this, of course. But if you do, then you will still be brushing out that hair
0:43
And it's going to be harder to manage since it's wet. That adds time to your beagle's bath and can cause you money when you have to unclog the drain later with a plumber's help
0:54
Because there's just too much hair to get out on your own. So brush your dog first to save yourself some time and effort
1:00
And install a drain trap for bonus protection points. Coconut oil is excellent for sensitive skin
1:08
Beagles love to run, play, and nudge things with their cute little noses
1:14
This can lead to dry, cracked skin on their nose. But it doesn't have to
1:19
Rather than buying some chemical-heavy moisturizer that your beagle will lap up when you're not looking
1:24
I recommend giving virgin coconut oil a try. Coconut oil can quickly moisturize your dog nose and paws soothing dry cracked skin and helping it heal faster Best of all if your beagle licks some of it the oil will already be soaked in enough to work its magic
1:42
And any which way, coconut oil is edible for dogs. On that note, I would like to mention our today's sponsors, Kaleb's
1:50
I personally love Caleb's Arnica Dog Massage Oil, which is enriched with Arnica Montana, organic almond oil, and peppermint essential oil that can be very soothing for our dogs
2:03
Apart from that, their Tea Tree Dog Paw Powder, whose all-natural formula helps eliminate odors and fight yeast buildup in their paws
2:12
The main reason why I decided to partner with this brand is because of how amazing their products are and the fact that they are made with premium quality natural ingredients that are 100% biodegradable

2:34
If you brush your beagle once a week, well then that's great, but it's actually not good enough
2:40
Beagles shed their summer and winter coats every year. So during the months of spring and fall, you'll need to brush them every day
2:49
If you don't, you'll see beagle hairs on the carpet, on the couch
2:54
and damming up the drain when you give your beagle their monthly bath. So if it's spring or fall, then add a quick brushing session
3:01
after your dog morning walk to your daily routine Manage shedding with a dog vacuum When your beagle is shedding cleaning up those little hairs can be enough to make you want to pull your hair out
3:14
Well, thankfully, there's a modern marvel that every beagle owner should have, and it's called
3:20
a dog vacuum. Sometimes called pet hair vacuums, they feature custom filters and bristles that are
3:28
designed with pet hair cleanup in mind, reducing your tidy time to a matter of minutes. This will
3:34
also extend your house vacuum's life, as pet hairs can get caught in their motors and cause
3:40
damage that your warranty might not provide for. Get a dog vacuum. You'll thank us later
3:47
Cornstarch brightens your beagle's whites. This hack is something that you can test now
3:52
if you've got a minute. Believe it or not, cornstarch works perfectly as a makeshift
3:57
dry shampoo. Simply sprinkle it on oily areas and brush away the grease stains. Take a moment and
4:04
try it now. This hack is definitely a keeper. Make the bath less scary with a bathroom mat
4:12
When you manage to get your beagle into a bathtub, your furry friend will often panic
4:18
and this sends them sliding around the tub and even presents the danger that they might harm
4:23
themselves trying to jump out of it. A simple bath mat can resolve this, giving your beagle firm footing
4:31
And this can go a long way towards taking the fear out of your dog's monthly bath
4:35
It makes sense when you think about it If you had four legs and suddenly all four were slipping around you be worried too So try the next bath with a bath mat It safer and your furry friend will feel much
4:49
more secure when they can easily stand. PEP check. Pads, ears, and privates. Grooming isn't just about
4:58
looking good. You also want to use this time for a little spot checking. So a Beagle PEP check is a
5:05
great addition to their grooming regimen. PEP stands for pads, ears, and privates. Check for
5:12
dirt or cracks on their paw pads. Then look to make sure that their ears are clean as well
5:19
Droopy beagle ears are prone to infection, so don't skip this. Finally, check their privates
5:25
With female beagles, dirt can build up at the vulva, while males may sometimes show cracking
5:30
around the skin of the penis entry if something is wrong. Also check your dog's bottom to ensure
5:36
that it's clean and there's no sign of lumps or other abnormalities. It only takes a few minutes
5:42
and if you spot a problem early, you can get it treated right away. Take these hacks to heart
5:49
So there you have it. With these seven hacks, you can get the most out of your professional
5:54
grooming visits and you won't be stressed when your beagle gets dirty immediately after a groomer
6:00
visit. It only takes a few minutes, but it can save you hours and wear and tear on your wallet
