"Prepare yourself for a lifetime of laughs, love, and loyalty. But before the cuddles and playtimes take over, there’s one thing you need to know: Beagle puppies are curious, active, and have some special needs. Proper care is essential to ensure that they grow into healthy, happy adults."
As you start this new chapter, this guide will cover everything you need to raise a healthy Beagle puppy. And to make feeding easier for you, we offer a customized subscription meal plan tailored to your puppy’s size and weight, ensuring they get the right nutrition to support their growth and energy.
Puppy-Proofing Your Home
Beagle puppies are notoriously curious and have a knack for getting into trouble. They’ll sniff out, chew on, and explore every corner of your home!
Remove Hazards: Beagle noses are always on a mission. Ensure that small objects, cords, and houseplants are out of reach. Since Beagles tend to follow their noses, they may even try to snack on things they shouldn’t!
Create a Safe Space: A crate can serve as your Beagle’s “den,” where they feel safe. Start crate training early to give your puppy a cozy space they can call their own.

Nutrition Made Easy: The Right Diet for Your Growing Beagle
Beagles are incredibly food-driven, which makes feeding time both fun and important! Proper nutrition supports their rapid growth, high energy, and unique dietary needs.
Balanced Meals: Beagles need a diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. Puppies grow quickly, and a balanced diet ensures they have everything they need for strong bones and muscle development.
Watch the Portions: Beagles can be prone to overeating, leading to rapid weight gain. Sticking to portion-controlled meals is essential.
Meal Plan Subscription: At Furry Friends.India we understand that feeding your Beagle the right portions can be tricky, so our subscription meal plan is tailored specifically to your puppy’s age, size, and weight. This ensures that they’re getting just the right amount, helping prevent overfeeding while keeping their energy levels high. Our meals use only top-quality ingredients just what your little one deserves!

Exercise Essentials: Keeping Your Beagle Active
Beagles are bundles of energy, and they thrive when given plenty of physical and mental exercise. An active puppy is a happy puppy!
Daily Walks: Start with short walks, allowing them to sniff and explore at their pace. Gradually increase the length as they grow.
Playtime and Stimulation: Since Beagles are scent hounds, they love games that engage their noses. Try puzzle toys or hide-and-seek games to keep their minds active.
Outside Exploration: Be cautious, as their nose may lead them on unexpected adventures! Keep them on a leash or in a fenced area until they learn to respond to commands.

Training Basics: Housebreaking and Socializing Your Beagle
Training is crucial for Beagle puppies. Their intelligence makes them quick learners, but their stubborn streak means training requires consistency and patience.
House Training: Use positive reinforcement, like treats or praise, to encourage good behavior. Routine and patience are key to housebreaking.
Basic Commands: Start with simple commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” rewarding them with treats and praise.
Socialization: Beagles can be a little shy around new people or other pets, so early socialization is important to build their confidence.
At Furry Friends & Co.India we provide proper training to pet parents as well as to their fur babies

Grooming and Hygiene Tips for Your Beagle Puppy
Beagles have short coats, but they shed and need regular care to keep them looking and feeling their best.
Weekly Brushing: Use a soft brush to keep their coat shiny and reduce shedding. It’s also a great way to bond with your pup!
Clean Those Ears: Beagles are prone to ear infections due to their floppy ears, so weekly ear checks and cleaning are important.
Bath Time: Monthly baths are usually enough unless your Beagle finds something messy to roll in!

Regular Vet Checkups and Health Monitoring
Regular vet visits are essential for monitoring your Beagle puppy’s growth, administering vaccinations, and getting advice on their overall health.
Vaccination Schedule: Work with your vet to stay on top of necessary vaccines and boosters.
Dental Health: Start brushing their teeth early, or offer dental chews that clean their teeth as they gnaw.
Parasite Prevention: Ask your vet about preventative measures for fleas, ticks, and heartworm, especially if your puppy enjoys outdoor play.
