I have a beagle. My vet said (when I rescued him he was 2) that "beagles eat anything. He had so many problems and wasn't socialized that I began to use food treats to motivate him. Then I was in an MVA and can't get much exercise. He needs to run. His breed is a nose and four feet. I'm worried about his weight gain of ...God, I can hardly say this...20 pounds. I don't have a treadmill nor know how to use one. I have had him on strict rations, but his weight is stuck on the same number. Now if I give him a treat, it's string beans or a piece of bisquit the size of an aspirin. The only exercise that I can do now is go to the gym and swim laps. No dogs allowed.

Could I please get some help with this. All my vet does is say, "I told you so." And she did.
