Tips for keeping your Beagle Fit and Trim
|
Daily Walks
Two daily 20-minute walks at a brisk pace is the recommendation by the book, Beagles For Dummies. Besides
creating a healthy lifestyle for your dog (and yourself), these walks will also disengage some of the pent up energy
that your dog may later use to chew up a pair of shoes or empty the garbage can in a very bad way. As your dog
enters its twilight years, one daily walk may suffice. If your pet has trouble keeping up, make sure you slow down
so that the walk is a positive experience for both of you.
Even when a Beagle has a large yard to play in, experts agree that they are dependent on getting exercise
encouragement from a companion. Because of their social needs, Beagles thrive on having companionship and
that includes having someone to take them on a walk.
Born to Run
If your up for a run, chances are your athletically inclined Beagles is well. A good jog not only increases the aerobic
experience for your dog, but it also tires the dog much more quickly as well.
Exercise Benefits: There are many positive attributes associated with a strong program for your dog. They
include an increased heart rate, lung capacity and blood flow. Dogs will also develop stronger muscles and bones.
Unleashed Expectations
Because of the Beagle's wandering ways, it's imperative that you always keep your dog on a leash when you're not
in a secure fenced in yard.
