Any tips for slimming down an overweight beagle?

My beagle is 4 years old, and about 5 pounds overweight. We've switched her to diet food, given her less treats, and taken her for a lot of runs, all this for more than 6 months. She hasn't really lost any weight. Any tips?

Your still feeding her too much. What don't go in cant go on.

beagles are bad about being overweight because they are food loving dogs. I have a beagle mix that is over weight. The only thing you can really do is change their diet and exercise more. Take the dog in for a checkup, there are several medical things that can be linked to an overweight dog. good luck.

less diet food, no treats, no people food, more runs. Seems pretty extreme but your dog will live a longer healthier life.

beagles will eat until they explode...........so limit the amount of food you give the dog to just 2 or maybe 3 scoops (aorox 1 cup = 1 scoop) of dry food. No table scraps and not a lot of treats in between. You can add a little canned dog food to replace one scoop of dry but remember.....beagles will eat all day until the explode so just cut the portion of food back. always provide clean cool water.....

Don't leave out their food, schedule it so they only get a few scoops a day. No more table scraps and at the most 1 treat a day. Take them to the vet for a checkup, they may have more tips. Remember beagles are eaters and may act like they want moore food even if they are full.

Just decrease the food more. Diet food has slightly less calories than regular food, but not than much. You should decrease her food until she starts losing weight. The exercise should help.And make sure nobody is secretly giving her treats. Sometimes members of the family feel sorry for the dog and give it little extra bits. Sometimes it may even be a neighbor who has access to the dog.

If she hasn't lost any weight in more than six months, then she is still getting more calories than you want her to be getting. In order to get weight loss you probably need to cut back on the amount of food you are feeding her. Get an actual measuring cup like the kind you would use for baking (just a cheap plastic one from the dollar store will do) and actually measure the exact amount of food you are feeding her EVERY single time you feed her. If you aren't measuring her food every single time you are probably overfeeding her. Most people just guesstimate how much food is a cup...and most people are very surprised by just how wrong they are in their guess once they break out a standard measuring cup and actually measure the food. Read the feeding instructions on the dog food bag and keep in mind that dog food companies want to sell as much dog food as they can. I would start at the lowest recommended amount for your dog's weight range. If she still hasn't lost any weight at all after about two months, cut back the amount that you are feeding even a little more. Cut out the treats all together. Or, rather, factor in the amount of calories in the treats to the amount of food you're feeding. It can be hard to eliminate treats, especially for owners of food-motivated dogs. Often people feel like they are denying their pet something they deserve by not feeding any treats at all. There are several ways to factor treats into a diet. The easiest way is to measure out the amount of food the dog will get all day and just set aside a handful of kibble to use throughout the day as treats. To make this kibble taste more like a treat and less like regular dog food (most food-motivated dogs won't care either way, but some do and most people feel that treats should be special and not just regular dog food) you can store it in an air tight container with some super-stinky treat (like hot dog, cheese, liver treats, etc). This way the food will absorb some of the smell and taste of the higher-calorie treat without adding those calories to the diet. Another way to factor treats into the diet is to feed less food if you are going to be giving treats. This can be a little trickier for balancing calories since most of the time you'll be guessing at the amount of calories in the treats and the amount of calories in the food that you aren't feeding. A third way is to use treats that have virtually no calories like carrots and green beans. Be careful about fruit though, as fruits have a lot more sugar in them than veggies and it will take less fruit to have a caloric impact.If she still seems hungry, you can cheat a little and add some filler to make her feel more full even though she is eating less food. Just add some green beans or pumpkin (the canned kind that's just plain pumpkin...NOT pie filling...works fine) to her meals. These vegetables have a lot of fiber and not so many calories, so they will help to fill her up without adding a lot of calories.

no more teatsor at least give her diet treats or somethingand stick to diet food shell get slimmer

Take her to the dog park - a lot : )Call me!
