Beagles are average shedders. Their coats should be brushed once a week to remove loose or dead hair. Bathing is needed only occasionally (unless one of their adventures causes them to get into something messy or smelly). You should trim a Beagle's nails as often as necessary to keep them short. Overly long nails can cause not only pain but also running or walking problems. All dogs require regular dental care, including at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings, and Beagles are no exception. Maintaining good dental hygiene is important for their overall long-term health, and the sooner you get them into a good dental care routine, the better.
Beagles have well-balanced bodies that are short in couplings (meaning, the space between their last rib and their pelvis is relatively short). Their tails are sturdy and moderately long, set high but not curled over the back.
