Veterinary Care
As soon as you obtain your Beagle puppy contact your local Veterinary Surgeon to find out their programme of vaccinations. This does vary with the type of vaccinations used, but until your puppy has received its first full course, it must not be taken out where other dogs have been.
You can still take your puppy out to get used to new noises and sights by wrapping it in a blanket and carrying it safely in your arms, or taking it for short journeys in the car.
Most vaccines need a yearly booster, and licenced boarding kennels will need proof that this has been kept up to date.
If you obtain a 'rescued' Beagle, vaccination details will be passed to you wehere available, but if there is any doubt as to whether the vaccinations are up to date, then you must seek vetinary advice.
Remember also that puppies and adult hounds must be regularly wormed. Also think about getting your hound neutered - a very good idea for any pet hound.
