🍖Feeding a Beagle: portions, kibble and budget
Beagle : An adult of 10 to 15 kg gets around 160 to 240 g of kibble per day, weighed strictly: the Beagle is one of the breeds most prone to obesity and never seems full. A slow-feeder bowl paces its meals, and secure your bins and cupboards, as this born scavenger helps itself.
In short: A compact scent hound of 10 to 15 kg with a dense short coat, energetic, food-driven and ruled by its nose. A compact, sociable, cheerful scent hound with an exceptional nose and a bottomless appetite. Bred to follow a trail for hours, it forgets everything once its nose locks on: a 10 m long line is the norm among its owners, and bins and cupboards get locked.
The right daily ration for a Beagle
For an adult of 10 to 15 kg, plan on 80 to 160 g of complete kibble per day, split into two meals and adjusted for age, neutering and actual activity. The reference is the weight curve: you should feel the ribs without seeing them.
Matching the food to the breed
At 10 to 15 kg, the Beagle needs standard kibble: judge the bag on its ingredient list, named animal proteins first, rather than the marketing. Treats count towards the ration: past 10% of daily intake, the complete food is no longer balanced.
Budget and smart buying
Plan €20 to €40 monthly to feed a Beagle properly. Big-bag buying pays off as long as an airtight bin and a six-week turnaround protect the food. All our label-reading pointers are on the full Beagle profile.
