Beagle
Beagles (20-30 pounds) are curious, friendly, and merry, perfect for families. They’re kid-friendly but may chase pets due to hunting instincts. Moderate exercise (30-60 minutes daily) suits them; their short coat needs weekly brushing.
Feed 1-1.5 cups daily of Hill’s Science Diet Small Paws Chicken & Rice, with 23% protein for their active nature. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with secure yards, they’re not for apartments due to barking.
Training curbs wandering. Beagles thrive with attentive families who enjoy their vocal charm and provide scent-based mental stimulation, not for low-maintenance owners.
