The Beagle we knew then was a lean sniffing machine. But, the Beagle we know today is almost always suffering from obesity and its deadly consequences. Why? Because of an imbalanced high-calorie diet and a lack of physical and mental exercise. Beagle dog food must consist of high-quality ingredients that are low in calories, offer long-lasting satiety, and meet all nutritional needs.

Feeding them food that is high in carbohydrates, unhealthy fillers, and table scraps causes unnecessary weight gain and its subsequent problems. As much as we are tempted to feed those irresistible puppy eyes tasty treats, we must ensure that it doesn't exceed more than 10% of their daily dietary intake. It might also be beneficial to draw up a beagle food chart with your veterinarian.

Beagles are energetic bundles of energy, and when that energy isn't used well, it is stored as fat. Beagles need a minimum of three to four hours of aerobic exercise every day. This can be in the form of fetch, running, brisk walking, swimming, scent work, agility, hiking, flyball...the list goes on. In short, there's nothing you can't do with a Beagle.

A lack of physical exercise causes boredom and boredom-based destructive behaviour such as chewing, mouthing, biting, constant howling, and pacing. In addition to physical exercise, these smart hounds need something to work on during the day. Now, what would you prefer - a puzzle toy with a productive outcome or the leg of a sofa with a not-so productive outcome? When it comes to training, Beagles are easy-to-train and always willing to earn. They enjoy obedience training when it involves games as opposed to commands.
