Activities For Beagos
Prepare for unexpected vet bills
Introduction
If you are looking for a well-rounded dog that will bring a lot of love and joy into your family home, then adopt a Beago. A Beago has the Golden Retriever and Beagle as parents, creating a dog that loves affection and to play. However, don’t let the small size of this breed fool you. They still require a substantial amount of exercise and mental stimulation every day. If they don’t get it, you can say goodbye to your favorite pair of shoes or anything else at dog height they can sink their teeth into! Try these activities below to make sure your Beago gets as much entertainment and physical activity as they need.
Dog Park
If you own a Beago, then you are going to need to set time aside for trips to the dog park. Out of a number of breeds, a Beago is going to be one that craves play and dog socialization the most. You may even find they seek out the company of other dogs when you go for a walk or they see them on the street when you’re driving past. Therefore, don’t underestimate the power of an hour-long trip to the dog park. This free activity is one that will make your dog turn into a lunatic with excitement! What’s more, it’s one that only requires a leash, toy, and doggy waste bag.
DIY Food Puzzles
While it’s easy enough to entertain your Beago when the sun is shining, it can be a little more challenging when the colder weather hits. Rather than battle galeforce winds and driving rain as you take them for a walk, why not think a little outside the square? A moderately challenging but affordable food puzzle could be the answer. You can make them at home, flex your creative muscles, and provide your dog with an hour of entertainment. While it won’t appeal to their physical need for activity, it will most certainly cater to their mental stimulation requirements.
Swimming
On a hot summer’s day, it’s not all that easy to cool your dog down. They don’t sweat as humans do, and not all of them make the connection that the sun is the reason why they are so hot. Therefore, they’re not all smart enough to retreat to the shade! If it’s too hot to do anything else, why not set up a paddling pool in your yard? This free and easy activity is one that your dog will enjoy, all the while offering them the opportunity to cool down. All you need is a toy for them to play with around the water, a paddling pool, and a towel.

Frisbee
Golden Retrievers love to retrieve, which is why it makes sense for your Beago to as well. When you have 20 minutes to spare, grab a frisbee and head into your backyard for a quick game. Frisbees are one of the most aerodynamic toys which means they fly far further than other toys. You are sure to find that the endless running will burn off your furry friend’s energy far quicker than other activities.
Chew Toys
To stop your dog from chewing your shoes and kids toys, make sure you have plenty of dog-friendly chew toys on-hand. You can purchase these from any pet store or vet clinic - all of which appeal to both gentle and tough chewers. Remember, even though this is a fun activity your dog can do solo, you will need to supervise to make sure they don’t swallow any pieces they chew off!
Conclusion
When you own a Beago, you never have an opportunity to be sad. Their energy, pawsitive personality and happy-go-lucky attitude will always put a smile on your face while warming your heart at the same time. In return, you can provide them with fun activities to keep them happy and healthy. Try these few above, or why not come up with a few of your own?
