QuestionI am just wondering how often i can bath my beagle. how much is too often?
AnswerYou can bathe your beagle as often as once a week, as long as you use an appropriate shampoo. Find a conditioning shampoo or puppy or oatmeal shampoo to replenish the skin and protect the hair from drying.
Beagles tend to have a "houndy" odor, so good combing is a must. Use a shedding blade or a thinning/stripping comb to grab all the dead undercoat, then brush with a slicker brush before and between bathings.
This will keep your dog fresher, your beagle will dry faster when washed and it's skin will be healthier.
I LOVE beagles, they are such sweet dogs and anxious to please. Most grooming salons do not do a good enough job on a beagle, they wash it and let it air dry. Your beagle needs the shedding and fine tooth combing I described.
You may find you need less bathing with the thorough grooming procedure I described.
But again, you can bathe your beagle whenever you feel it needs it with today's gentle shampoos.
