Feed Requirement:

Beagles are small to medium-sized breeds, and their food requirements will depend on their age, activity level, and overall health. As a general rule, adult Beagles will require about 1.5 to 2 cups of high-quality dog food per day, divided into two meals. Puppies and younger Beagles may require more food as they are growing. Beagles are known to have a strong appetite, and they can be prone to obesity if they are overfed. Therefore, it’s essential to monitor their weight and adjust their food intake accordingly. It’s also recommended to provide them with plenty of opportunities for physical activity and exercise to help maintain a healthy weight.

Best Food to Feed:

Beagles are known for not being fussy eaters. They’ll pretty much eat anything you give them. Dry dog food is a good choice for Beagles because it helps keep their teeth clean. Dry kibble is easy to use, doesn’t cost a lot, and can help keep their teeth healthy because it’s rough. Good quality dry food has all the nutrition Beagles need and can help them manage their weight. Another option is a raw diet. Some people think a raw diet, with raw meat, bones, fruits, and veggies, is better because it’s like what dogs used to eat in the wild. It can make their coats shinier, keep their skin healthy, and give them more energy.

Common Health Problems:

Beagles are generally healthy dogs, but they can have some health problems. They might have issues like hip dysplasia, where their hip joint doesn’t form right and causes pain. Epilepsy is another problem, causing seizures because of a brain issue. Also, hypothyroidism can happen, meaning their thyroid doesn’t make enough hormones, leading to weight gain and tiredness.

Beagles might get allergies too, causing sneezing and itching, especially in their ears, which can get infected easily. They need a lot of exercise because they have a fast metabolism, but they can get overweight, which can cause diabetes and heart problems. Skin issues like mange and urinary tract infections are common too, as well as eye problems that can affect their vision.

Top 5 Fun Facts of Beagles

Fact #1: Beagles Were Bred for Hunting. Beagles are excellent dogs for hunting rabbits and hares.

Fact #2: Their Ears Help Their Noses. Those long ears actually catch scent particles and keep them close to the dog’s nose, so they can take in as much information as possible.

Fact #3: A Beagle Named Elvis Could Smell Pregnancy. “Polar bear pregnancy detector” is a much less common Beagle job, but it does exist. A two-year-old Beagle named Elvis was actually trained to determine whether a polar bear was pregnant by smelling her poop.

Fact #4: Beagles Can Vocalize Three Ways. They can make three different sounds—a standard bark, a yodel-like sound called a bay (which they use when hunting), and a howl.

Fact #5: Snoopy Is a Beagle

Do You Know?

Renowned as one of the most iconic beagles worldwide, Snoopy originated from the creative mind of Charles Schulz within his beloved comic series, Peanuts. Schulz adeptly captured the quintessence of the beagle breed through Snoopy’s portrayal. Interestingly, Schulz’s exploration of beagle characters in Peanuts extends beyond Snoopy alone. He introduced Snoopy’s five siblings who made occasional appearances in the comic: Andy, Belle, Marbles, Spike, and Ugly Olaf. This lesser-known aspect of the Peanuts universe adds depth to the portrayal of beagles within Schulz’s storytelling
