Losing Weight - by Dad

Beagles love to eat. I think it is the only thing Cooper thinks about all day. His favorite haunt is the kitchen, sitting at the feet of whoever is cooking or eating, waiting for a scrap of food to fall. We don't feed Cooper table food, never did. And we never thought he was overeating. But somehow he has put on an extra 4 pounds and it shows on him.

But this post is to give hope to anyone who has a beagle that is a few pounds overweight. What was our solution? Cut his morning and afternoon dinner (Eukanuba low fat food) by 15% and limit his night time treat to a couple pellets of food.

After 4-5 weeks Cooper has lost about 4+ pounds. He was about 34.5 pounds, he is now about 30.5 pounds.

It was quite easy.
