Choose a Dog

When you think of Beagles, you probably picture a pack of these little guys baying at the top of their lungs as they race after a fox or rabbit. Despite the heavy hunting association, the charismatic little Beagle is also a very popular family pet these days. Now that you know a bit about this breed, lets look at what pet food you should be feeding your Beagle.

With so much choice on the pet food UK market for dogs it can be hard knowing what’s right for your pooch. The main thing to remember is that the Beagle is quite a small dog, and this often corresponds to the amount of food they need to eat. Remember also that Beagles retain their keen hunting instinct, so when feeding them proper food, just be wary of them still trying to head off and chase a rabbit.

So, lets look at what characteristics the Beagle has. The natural hunting instinct of the Beagle means it has a good sense of smell. Its obvious that the Beagle is small, but there are actually a couple of different sizes, ranging from 13 to 15 inches. Except for the difference in size, both Beagle varieties are identical. You will notice the common Beagle features include droopy ears and a rather long tail for an animal so short in stature. In terms of its coat, the hair is short yet you can end up with a few different colour variations including tan, black and white. Beagles do have some lovely markings, and this is evident when you see black dogs with white patches or suchlike.    

In terms of food, Beagles are just like other dogs with their ability to eat anything. In fact, if you tried to make your dog diet you would find that it would be quite happy to eat anything and everything lying around. Just by making sure you feed your Beagle 3 times a day with the best pet food available, you can reduce the chances of your pet hunting elsewhere for food.

The Beagle breed is known for being quite healthy, which generally makes your job a lot easier. Despite the fact that Beagles are known as one of the more healthier dog breeds, they are prone to heart disease. It is also common for this breed to start with weight problems, so it really is just a case of making sure your pet gets a balanced diet with the UK pet food of your choice.

In closing, the Beagle can make the perfect pet and it would be ideal if you’re looking for a great little friend to be a part of the family.
