Cheerful, curious and driven by their nose. Beagles are sociable but can be stubborn and are prone to following scents, so a secure garden and a good recall matter.
Health to keep an eye on
Commonly associated with weight gain, ear infections and some back and eye problems. They are expert food thieves, so secure the kitchen.
Coat and grooming
Short coat, easy care. Clean the ears regularly.
Best suited to
Active families who enjoy walks and sniffing games and will manage the food bowl.
General tendencies only: every animal is an individual. Health notes are not a diagnosis; ask your vet about your own pet.

PatiTools estimates for a healthy adult in ideal condition at the breed's typical weight range, normal activity and neutered, using about 3.6 kcal per gram of dry food. Your pet may need more or less: ask your vet.
General guidance, not a clinical standard: we found no veterinary guideline that sets exact minutes. Adjust to your pet's fitness, age and health, and follow your vet's advice.
