My parents own a female Beagle and they have noticed that she has been chewing on her ears. They are concerned, I told them to take her to the vet because she might have ear mites. Is this common for Beagles to chew on thier ears? Any feedback would be great.

Beagles are very hyper dogs, they need plenty of exercise daily, so take it for a walk everyday so it has something to do. When you see the dog chewing on it's ears, yell NO and push his muzzle away. Or simply hire a dog trainer to train the dog. [ HeatherML23's advice column | Ask HeatherML23 A Question ]

You should take the dog to the vet. My dog doesn't chew on her ears though. Maybe it is common for beagles to chew their ears. [She does many weird things though]
Hope I Helped =) =) [ x0brittany0x's advice column | Ask x0brittany0x A Question ]

There has to be something wrong with the dogs ears in order for it to do that.. They should take the dog to the vet.. If they let it go on for too long they could maybe get in trouble of some sort.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]
