Activities For Beagles!

People are always amazed to hear that one of our beagles has lost 30 pounds.  Everyone thinks that we have a special diet that we feed the members of our Fat Farm.  I feed each dog an appropriate amount for his age and ideal size.  They gets treats along with the pack and the usual spoonful of topping on their kibble.  The secret is activity.

 With 2 two large, fenced yards the pack gets plenty of exercise.  Even the old guys walk the path to the back a few times a day and most respond to the call of a squirrel sighting by running.   The young pups in the pack get so much exercise wrestling and playing chase that they must get extra portions to keep them from looking too skinny!

If you want your beagle to keep the weight off, you can do it without having a pack of beagles move in! 

First- You must add a good walk with your dog each day or twice a day, if you can fit it in.  

Second -It does help to have two beagles the same age so they can wrestle and chase each other around.

Third -Plan trips to dog park once a week so they can get out and really run.

Fourth -Think of taking your dog on a jog with you.

Fifth -Get a long lead and take him to the beach and let him run into the surf!

Sixth-Come up with ideas of your own that adds fun and exercise to your beagle’s life.  They love food…make them work for it!

This is Beebe.  He went from 87 pounds to 52 this past year!
