The verdict

According to the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine openFDA adverse-event extract, Beagle ranks #11 of 510 by total reports (17,970) and #201 of 275 by death-coded share (3.6%). National dual: Retriever - Labrador is #1 of 510 by total adverse-event reports (93,675) at death-coded-share rank 195 of 275 breeds with at least 50 reports (3.7%); separately, Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is #1 highest death-coded share at 99.0% (report rank #233).

Report volume reflects how common a breed or drug is and how often owners and vets file — not actual risk. Death-coded share ranks are limited to entries with enough reports to be meaningful. The two maps do not agree at #1.

How to read this number

Read alongside breed popularity, veterinary access, and owner awareness, these shape how many events ever reach the FDA. The comparison line marks the cross-breed median death-coded share (4.8%) among breeds with 50 or more reports; values above it suggest higher reporting bias toward severe outcomes, not necessarily higher true mortality.

Source FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine, openFDA adverse event extract (PlainBreed) · July 2026 extract

This histogram uses the same ≥50-report cohort as the highest death-coded share ranking. A higher share means more of this breed's reported events were death-coded, not a mortality rate for living animals.

Beagle among report-volume vs. death-rate peers

Every breed shown has at least 50 filed reports. Volume reflects how often a breed is reported, not how common it is; death rate is the share of a breed's own reports coded as a death outcome.

Beagle: low death-coded share in the FDA CVM extract

Signature read: 17,970 reports place Beagle in the upper third of breed filing volume (#11 of 510). According to FDA CVM filings indexed on PlainBreed as of July 2026 extract, Beagle sits at #11 of 510 by report volume among all breeds and #10 of 298 among dog breeds, with 17,970 reports and 650 (3.6%) death-coded. On death-coded share among breeds with ≥50 reports, it ranks #201 of 275. Mean age at report: 5.7 years, average weight 14.6 kg (32.2 lbs).

Top reported signs: Vomiting (2,910), Lack of efficacy (endoparasite) - hookworm (1,717), Lack of efficacy (endoparasite) - heartworm (1,663). Most-referenced drug: Ivermectin + Pyrantel As Pamoate Salt (2,856 reports), followed by Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (2,597) and Moxidectin (1,075).

Outcome coding on 16,888 status-recorded reports is dominated by Outcome Unknown (37.6%). Annual submissions ranged 151-2,026 across 17 years on file.

Beagle Reporting Concentration Profile

Beagle is a high-volume FDA CVM cohort (17,970 reports) - enough filings to measure how concentrated the reaction and drug mix is, not just the headline totals. Across 20 named reaction terms in the stored top list, the leading three (Vomiting, Lack of efficacy (endoparasite) - hookworm, Lack of efficacy (endoparasite) - heartworm) account for 34.2% of listed reaction mentions. The Herfindahl index on that list is 0.073 (1.0 = a single reaction owns every mention; lower = a broader clinical mix).

On the drug side, 20 referenced products appear in the top list; the leading three (Ivermectin + Pyrantel As Pamoate Salt, Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad, Moxidectin) cover 42.7% of those mentions. That multi-product footprint is the profile thin-report breeds cannot show - their pages stop at a short bar list because the sample cannot support a concentration read.

Outcome coding on 16,888 status-recorded filings splits roughly 3.9% severe (died or euthanized - 655 reports) versus 33.1% recovered or recovered-with-sequela (5,582). Read that split next to the 3.6% death-coded share above - both track reporting severity bias in a popular breed, not a proven mortality rate.

Peak filing year was 2017 (1,399 reports); the lightest year on file was 2026 (151). From 2024 to 2025, annual volume fell 18.6% (1,117 → 909). Year-to-year swings at this volume usually track product launches, owner awareness, and reporting campaigns more than sudden breed-health shocks.
