T the nails of your beagle is an important part of their well-being
0:12
If you allow their nails to grow, then it can make it difficult for them to walk comfortably
0:18
They can even rip off their nails while running, which can cause a lot of pain
0:25
That's why it is recommended to cut your beagle's nails regularly. When to trim their nails
0:31
If you notice a nail-clicking sound when your pooch walks on the floor, then it's time to trim them
0:38
I usually cut my beagle's nails once every two weeks. Things you will need
0:45
You need to buy a good-quality nail clipper for your beagle. You can either go with basic dog nail clippers or get an electric nail grinder
0:55
I prefer nail clippers, as they are easy to use. Also, make sure the clipper is neither too big nor too small for your beagle's nails
1:06
I will drop a link down below for the trimmer I use for my beagle

How to Trim Your Beagle's Nail Firstly, select a time when your beagle is tired and calm
1:18
This will make it much easier. The best time for a puppy would be after his playing time or training session
1:27
And for an adult beagle, it would be after a little. long walk. Okay. Now, the most important thing, under the nails of dogs, there is a thin
1:37
layer of skin known as the quick, which you are not supposed to cut, or else it will start bleeding
1:46
An entire nail of the dog could be divided into two parts one with the skin under it and another without the skin which you are supposed to cut It not as scary as it sounds
1:59
You just need to be cautious while clipping your beagle's nails. Before you start clipping the nail
2:05
spot the quick. If your beagle has pinkish white nails, like this
2:10
then you can easily spot it. However, if your beagle has black nails
2:15
then you will have to look careful. and find the quick. Once you have located the quick
2:22
firmly hold your Beagle's paw and gently squeeze it. This will extend his nails
2:28
You need to cut the nail at a 45-degree angle, like this
2:33
Do not panic if you accidentally cut the nail. Stay calm and apply styptic powder to it
2:41
Here are a few helpful tips. Tip number one. Beagles could show tantrums for trims
2:47
their nails, so it is advised to make your pooch used to nail t as soon as possible
2:55
There's no specific age to start t nails. Cut them as soon as you think they are long
3:01
Tip number two. Nail t can be scary for beagles, so start slow and associate positive
3:08
things with it. On the first day, clip just one nail and give them a treat for being good dogs
3:15
Gradually, work your way up. Tip number three. Gently touch their paws daily
3:22
This will make them less sensitive when you hold their paws for t
3:27
T nails could seem a little tricky at first, but with a few sessions, you will trim them almost like a professional
