It is recommended that you feed your Beagle one cup of dry food per day, split into two meals. Puppies are likely to eat more – usually two cups.

For adult Beagles, 45 calories per pound of body weight are advised. For senior dogs, 42 calories per pound of body weight are suggested.

Because of their immense food drive, these dogs are prone to getting overweight. To avoid this, watch out for calorie intake.

A Beagle will need at least 30 minutes of exercise daily to keep it physically and mentally stimulated. Providing it with activities each day can help it avoid getting bored and overweight. Because of its hunting blood, it sometimes needs to be brought outdoors. Daily walks in the park or some playtime in the yard is often enough.

Beagles are extremely smart and can learn commands easily. However, they can be stubborn and independent, so training them often requires patience and commitment. It is suggested that you act as a strong pack leader every single time. Train this breed while it is still young.

This is because Beagles were originally bred as hunting animals, so they need to be taught crate training, leash training, and potty training, among many others, during their puppy stage.

Luckily, they respond well to positive reinforcement. Whenever they do something right or behave well, reward them with praises and treats. When they misbehave, simply ignore them or firmly tell them “no.” This is basic information, and it should not be used to make adoption or purchasing decisions. Be sure to consult an expert if you’d like to learn about the breed’s care and requirements.
