Answer 2

Perfect question :) Beagles are definitely unique when it comes to behavior. They are fearless, vocal and tenacious. Keep her occupied! Beagles are very smart and when they get bored they have a tendency to chew. (such as, chewing a hole in the fence and escaping) Keep in mind that they are hound dogs and a ruled by their noses, so they can come across as a little distracted or stubborn when you're outside with them. They have a HUGE bark (well, it's actually a roo, you'll find out) and they love to talk. Have fun with her :) p.s they also like to snuggle under the covers.

How Can I Help My Dog Lose Weight?

Losing weight isn't easy. Changing your habits and your pet's is the key. Here are some ways you can help:

Do a family survey to be sure who feeds the dog, what, and when. (Don't be embarrassed to admit you give your dog treats-dogs are expert beggars.)
Substitute affection for treats. Give a pat or throw a ball when he noses your hand.
Take the dog for a walk more often. Even 10 minutes a day can help.
Feed more often. It takes energy to digest food. Dividing your dog's daily ration into 2 or 3 feedings will help.
Reducing your dog's regular food amount by 15 percent should bring results.
If your dog is more than 15 percent overweight, your veterinarian may recommend a special food. Diet foods should be low in fat (under 20 percent of calories from fat) and high in carbohydrates.

Your goal is to make your dog healthier, so select the diet food carefully. Some diet foods just add fibre to help the dog feel full. This results in reduced digestibility, large stool volume, frequent defaecation, and decreased skin and coat condition because the dog isn't getting enough fat and nutrients.

You'll want to find a food that has normal fibre levels to keep your dog's digestive system working properly. It should have high-quality protein, so your dog doesn't lose muscle too, and an adjusted fatty-acid ratio to help keep his skin flexible and coat glossy throughout the dieting process. Once your dog reaches ideal weight, select a maintenance food to keep weight steady.

Some of The Iams Company products designed to help your dog reach and maintain ideal weight are Eukanuba Veterinary Diets¨ Restricted Calorie Formula , Eukanuba¨ Adult Light and Eukanuba Adult Large Breed Light and Iams Light rich in Chicken.

Remember, your dog needs your help to lose weight and stay healthy. Your efforts to follow the programme recommended by your veterinarian can make a real difference in your dog's health and lifespan.

Answer 4

I have the same problem with my dog. Try giving him or her weight loss food and give him a 30 min walk everyday. If you can't, toys will keep a younger dog at lest active and happy. Try toys like a ball with a hole and some peanut butter. My dog is old and it works on him.

Answer 5

Put him on science diet weight control food (check w/ vet first though) Then, when the vet says he's at a good weight, feed him just plain science diet, it will help him maintain a good weight! :)

Answer 6

Easiest way it just to cut all food, meals and treats alike by a quarter. He will then get all the stuff he has now but less of it and so he will hardly notice and stop getting fat. Of course if you give him lots of goodies you could think of making them healthier too.

Answer 7

Let your vet help you with a diet. You could harm the puppy's health, if you "rig up" your own diet for it.

Answer 8

wieght loss food!

Answer 9

just give him diet -food , and nothing from the table!(:
