Thanks for your question about your aging beagle! As our furry friends get older, they can sometimes face different health challenges than when they were younger. It's great that you're keeping an eye out for any changes.
Senior dogs often experience issues like arthritis, dental problems, or changes in vision and hearing. You might notice your beagle slowing down a bit or having trouble jumping up onto furniture. These are common signs of arthritis. For at-home care, make sure your pup has a comfortable, soft place to rest, and try to manage their weight to reduce stress on the joints.
Dental health is another common concern. If your beagle has bad breath or seems to have trouble eating, a dental issue might be the culprit. Regular brushing and dental treats can help maintain oral health.
Keep an eye out for any serious signs like unexplained weight loss, significant changes in appetite or thirst, persistent coughing, or difficulty breathing. These could indicate more severe conditions and would need a vet’s attention.
If you're noticing any worrying changes or just want peace of mind, it might be a good idea to book a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. We’re here to help guide you and your beagle through their golden years with as much comfort and care as possible.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
