Beagles, an ancient breed from England, were developed as scent hounds for tracking small game like rabbits due to their exceptional sense of smell. They have around 220 million scent receptors, making them highly effective for roles in tracking and detection. Known for their stubborn, independent nature, Beagles can be difficult to train, especially when distracted by scents. Partial deafness can occur, though it's not common. Their strong olfactory abilities and determination are key traits of the breed.

Must have meal for a Beagle

Beagles need a balanced diet with high-quality protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Healthy fats support skin and coat health. Puppies should eat 3-4 times a day, while adults can have 2 meals.


What to avoid?

Most commercial dog food contains fillers like grains and soy which can be difficult for them to digest and may cause allergies. Choose dog food that is made with whole, natural ingredients and free from unnecessary additives.

Homely food that your pet might love

For a Beagle, an organic home-cooked meal should include high-quality protein (like chicken or fish), healthy fats (such as olive oil), complex carbs (like sweet potatoes), and vegetables (like carrots). Avoid harmful ingredients like onions and garlic, and consult your vet to ensure the diet meets all nutritional needs.

Two must follow steps for home cooked food

  1. Preparing home-cooked meals may be time-consuming and nutritionally incomplete, consider adding dog food toppers or supplements to make up for the lack of nutrients
  2. Beagle need Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and joint health. These essential fats also help reduce inflammation and boost overall immune function.
