How much to feed a Beagle, based on the NRC 2006 energy model and this breed's typical weight range — not a single manufacturer's generic chart.
Feeding notes for Beagles
- A notoriously food-motivated scent hound with a strong drive to scavenge — securing counters and trash matters as much as portioning meals correctly.
- Consistently flagged in veterinary body-condition surveys as one of the breeds most prone to obesity, so treats need to be counted against the daily total, not added on top.
