Taking Care Of Your Little Beagle
01 Nov 2009
Although times have changed a little bit, the general association with Beagles is that they are hunting dogs and people get images of them chasing rabbits and suchlike across a field. 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. Also, you’re going to have to be aware that Beagles have a keen hunting instinct, so if you want to feed them proper pet food, you’re going to have to make sure they don’t just run off after a rabbit or something.
Now we should delve a little deeper into what the Beagle is like and the features it has.The Beagle naturally has a strong sense of smell and this relates to its hunting abilities. This member of the American Kennel Club’s hound group actually comes in two sizes, under thirteen inches and thirteen to fifteen inches. It is only the difference in size that separates the two varieties, as their general features are exactly the same. You will notice the common Beagle features include droopy ears and a rather long tail for an animal so short in stature. Its coat is short and most commonly comes in a combination of tan, black and white colours. You can also find orange, black, or tan dogs with white markings.
All dogs love their food and Beagles are no exception. 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. In fact, even if he isn’t on a diet, he may still hit the bins for an after-dinner snack, so it is important to control this scavenging instinct by feeding it regularly with good, wholesome pet 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. Of course, with their propensity to overeat, Beagles can also develop weight related diseases, so feed it pet food from the UK that is healthy and nutritious.
