Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
hi..it's a been a year now since we've adopted a beagle. Within the past year he has gained 8lbs. He was big to begin with so now the vet has advised we put him on a diet. He's lost 1.5 in 3 weeks just by reducing his California Natual dog food but because he seems sooooo hungry all the time...
