Track your Beagle's weight from puppyhood to adulthood with this complete age-by-age weight guide.
About the Beagle
The Beagle is a small-to-medium hound breed with a big personality. Originally bred for rabbit hunting in England, Beagles are now one of the most popular family dogs worldwide, prized for their gentle temperament, compact size, and friendly nature.
Beagles have an exceptional sense of smell — second only to the Bloodhound — which makes them popular in scent-detection work at airports and borders. At home, they are playful, curious, and sociable companions that get along well with children and other pets.
Weight management is crucial for Beagles, who are known to be highly food-motivated. Obesity is one of the most common health issues in this breed, and extra weight stresses their joints and can shorten their lifespan significantly.

Adult Beagles typically weigh 9–11 kg (20–25 lbs). The breed has minimal difference in weight between males and females.

Keeping Your Beagle at a Healthy Weight
- Never free-feed a Beagle — they will eat until food is gone, regardless of hunger.
- Use a measuring cup for every meal and stick to the vet's recommended portion.
- Aim for 45–60 minutes of exercise per day — Beagles love to sniff and explore.
- Keep treats under 10% of daily calories; use kibble pieces as training rewards.
- Weigh monthly and adjust food quantity if the trend is upward.
- A healthy Beagle should have a visible waist when viewed from above.
