Tooth fracture risk from enthusiastic chewing
Medium RiskBeagles are powerful and enthusiastic chewers. Their vigorous chewing behaviour regularly causes slab fractures on the large carnassial teeth.
The premolars and molars at the back accumulate tartar rapidly in Beagles.
Beagles are in the medium-risk category — lower than small breeds but not immune to periodontal disease without regular care.
Beagles tend to pick up and chew hard objects — rocks, sticks, hard plastic toys — that cause tooth fractures.
"Beagles are enthusiastic chewers — and the wrong objects cause tooth fractures more often than owners realise. Avoid real bones, antlers, hard nylabones. A fractured carnassial tooth looks fine at first and then becomes an abscess. Watch those big back teeth."

What should Beagles not chew on?
Beagles should not chew on real bones, antlers, hard nylabones or hard plastic toys. Stick to rubber toys and dental chews.
