Did you dress your beagle/dog up for the holidays or cold weather? Show us your pets with winter/holiday gear on! 😁😁



If you dressed up your cat, I think we're going to need to see a video of that process. 😁🤣❤️

Just can't help myself...puppy cuddles!
Her nose is changing from the pink (at birth) to black, and her ears are beginning to grow. At the end, you can see her little teeth when she yawns! ❤️

Rawhide chews can have a place with many dogs, but can be dangerous as well. These brightly-colored treats are typically from China, and have been created using scary chemicals (some are often still on/in the chew) . This article gives tips to help you determine whether a better-quality rawhide might still be ok for your pets, under supervision:

https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/are-rawhide-chews-dangerous-for-dog/

We don't often give our dogs rawhide, out of precaution. We do know of a beagle that had portions of its intestines removed due to damage from rawhide.

In any case, do what's best for your pets and always remember to check toys and treats for condition indicating that it's time to take them away.

UPDATE! SHE HAS A NEW FAMILY TO JOIN! 💕
This little bi-colored girl can go home as early as Wednesday, December 11. If you have been thinking about getting a puppy, she might like to meet you! Well, I know she would like to meet you. Maybe lick your face, bite your toes, sleep in your lap. Because....she's a puppy! 🥰

She is going outside to potty through her doggie door 100% of the time, so she is ready to continue training at your home (not potty trained, but starting to understand....you would need to follow through).

She has been to the vet for her last checkup. Stool sample was clean/negative. She has had her first vaccination (next one is due around December 19). She has been dewormed multiple times.

To see her pictures at full size, visit www.crbeagles.com/puppies.htm (click the thumbnails to enlarge, then "back" to get back to the web page). There are links to 2 videos above her photos.

Let us know if you have questions!

Just a reminder....keep your dog safe this weekend (and today!) by not giving him/her dangerous foods from the table. There are more than listed here, but these are some major sources of problems.

Be careful, and keep your beloved pets safe!

Tips for helping your beagle get through Independence Day safely. Also, have you registered your microchip? If you haven't, you can register it here as well as through other services. Register it SOMEWHERE, though. An unregistered chip won't bring your pet home. 😬

PET SAFETY TIME! Independence Day is just around the corner. It's time to start thinking about fireworks, and how they might affect your pets if you haven't already prepared. Many dogs and cats get so scared by fireworks that they take off running, trying to escape them (and get lost). ***Make your plans in advance, whether that means to have a family meeting to discuss how you'll keep your pet from getting scared or escaping, or visiting the vet for medicines.***

It's very important to INSPECT YOUR COLLAR AND LEASH for damage/wear, so a sudden hard pull doesn't cause a damaged area to break. Plan to be holding on tightly as well!

If you remain calm and upbeat/positive, your dog will feed off those positive emotions. Check out step 5 here for tips on how to properly comfort your dog! https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/training/how-to-keep-your-dog-calm-during-fireworks/

Ensure that your dog/cat has identification (pet tags on a collar or microchip that you remembered to register with a database. Having an unregistered chip does no good.

Look into a Thundershirt or anxiety vest.

Sara Lee's puppies and Doll's chocolate tri are a big distraction. I was supposed to be working in the garden, but never did pull a single w**d. 🤣🤣 The w**ds will still be there tomorrow. And the next day. But the puppies start leaving in a few days, so I want to play while we can!

PUPDATE: Reserved for a new family!

This little boy would love to join you around June 14! Summer is a great time to welcome a new family member, but keep summer vacation in mind if you have one scheduled. It would be best to have that vacation BEFORE letting him join you, and then you can play and train without interruption!

See https://crbeagles.com/puppies.htm for more details!

Puppy Enrichment toys and activities...what have you found that your puppy enjoyed at early ages? There are so many ideas online, but I'm wondering if you have first-hand experience with things your puppy likes/liked (and even your adult dogs, too) and if you tried ideas that did NOT work.

Definitely, finding toys that make sniffing for food/treats are easy to find...did you find a good one?

NON-food ideas...what do you recommend that can help future puppy owners with enrichment and training?

All tips welcome! :-)
