Beagle Weight Loss
So last year when we got Darla she was steadily gaining weight. She is a Beagle/Boston Terrier Mix so our originial vet didn't know an ideal weight for her. Well over the winter she blew up to 39lbs even though she was on a scheduled feeding, and organic food, and had 6 walks a day(we didn't have a fenced yard). Since we've moved she is still on a scheduled feeding, on Blue Buffalo-Weight Managment, goes to the park or has a long walk each day, goes to daycare once every 2 wks, and plays with 3 other dogs in a fenced yard. I have tried making homemade treats, and now attempting to use vegetables as treats. I can't just not give them any treats, ecspecially when we are working on commands. My beagle Riley is a good weight 23lbs, but he is on the same routine as Darla to keep him healthy. I'm just getting discouraged, so does anyone have any stories or suggestions? Thanks

Their food is very high quality, corn meal isn't in there. The first ingredient is deboned chicken. I should've mentioned, one of her parents was most likely a 15in beagle. My purebred Beagle Riley is 13inches. Our new obstacle, is since I tried the vegetables as treats, Riley has thrown up once yesterday and once today. So I think I'm going to have to buy really healthy treats or just stick to carrots.
