About the Beagle
Beagles have a short, dense double coat that sheds moderately year‑round. Their coat is low‑maintenance, but regular brushing helps remove loose hair and keeps the skin healthy. Beagles are prone to ear infections due to their long, floppy ears, so weekly ear cleaning is essential.

Step‑By‑Step Grooming Guide
1. Brush Out the Coat
Use a rubber curry brush in circular motions to loosen shedding hair.
Follow with a bristle brush to smooth the coat and remove remaining loose hair.
2. Clean the Ears
Beagles are highly prone to ear infections.
Use ear wipes to clean the outer ear and visible areas of the ear canal weekly.
3. Trim the Nails
Trim small amounts at a time to avoid cutting the quick.
Check every 3–4 weeks.
4. Clean the Eyes
Use eye wipes to gently remove debris from the corners of the eyes.
5. Bathe the Beagle
Bathe every 4–6 weeks using a de‑shedding shampoo.
Dilute shampoo properly and rinse thoroughly.
6. Dry the Coat
Towel dry with a shammy and microfiber towel.
An HV dryer on low helps remove loose hair and reduce shedding.
7. Final Brush and Finish
Once dry, brush through with a bristle brush to smooth the coat.
Eye & Ear Care
Check ears weekly for redness, odor, or excess moisture. Wipe the eyes regularly to prevent debris buildup.
AKC Show Grooming
The Beagle coat should appear smooth, shiny, and natural. No trimming is required except for light sanitary tidying.
Final Thoughts
Beagles are low‑maintenance dogs, but consistent brushing and ear care keep them healthy and comfortable. With simple routine care, your Beagle's coat will stay clean and easy to manage year‑round.
