What Beagles need most from their food
The Beagle’s legendary appetite and weight tendency shape their nutritional needs:
Weight Management
Lean, nutrient-dense food (not calorie-dense filler) helps maintain a healthy weight without overfeeding.
Food Motivation & Satiety
Beagles are relentlessly food-driven. Nutrient-dense, protein-rich food satisfies better than starch-heavy kibble, supporting portion control.
Digestive Health
Indiscriminate eaters with sometimes-sensitive digestion benefit from clean, highly digestible food.
Ear Health
Long, floppy ears prone to infection, sometimes diet-linked. A simple, single-protein diet makes a known trigger easier to avoid.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for BeaglesBeagles
Beagles are governed by their stomachs — bred as scent hounds, they are relentlessly food-motivated and strongly prone to weight gain. The key to managing a Beagle’s weight is feeding nutrient-dense, protein-rich food that satisfies, rather than starch-heavy kibble that leaves them hungry and begging. Freeze-dried raw delivers complete nutrition with high protein and no empty filler calories, supporting effective portion control.
The breed’s indiscriminate eating can also mean sensitive digestion, suited by clean, highly digestible food, and the long floppy ears are prone to infections that are sometimes diet-linked. Loyal Saints provides lean, satisfying, whole-food nutrition.

The standard is King.
Loyal Saints was built because of one dog. King’s digestive sensitivities pushed Kristina Voltin to question the ingredients, processing and nutrition behind every bowl. She formulated a whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet from human-grade quality ingredients — food she felt confident feeding King every day. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Beagles owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what’s really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

Beagle weight management is about satiety, not just calories. Protein-rich, nutrient-dense food satisfies better than filler-heavy kibble — making portion control achievable for a food-obsessed breed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I help my Beagle lose weight?
Feed nutrient-dense, protein-rich food in measured portions — protein satisfies better than starch, helping a food-obsessed Beagle feel full on less. Loyal Saints delivers complete nutrition without empty filler calories. A healthy-weight Beagle (20–30 lbs) needs about 1¾–2¼ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 2–2⅔ cups of Chicken) — reduce slightly for weight loss and avoid high-calorie treats.
Why is my Beagle always hungry?
Beagles are bred as scent hounds with relentless food motivation — it is genetic. The practical approach is feeding satisfying, protein-rich, nutrient-dense food (which keeps them fuller than starchy kibble) and managing portions and treats strictly. Loyal Saints' high protein content supports better satiety.
How much should I feed my Beagle?
Beagles typically weigh 20–30 lbs and need about 1¾–2¼ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 2–2⅔ cups of Chicken), split into two meals. Because the breed is so weight-prone, measure precisely and monitor body condition closely — you should feel ribs easily and see a defined waist.
Is freeze-dried raw good for a sensitive Beagle stomach?
Yes. Beagles' indiscriminate eating can lead to digestive sensitivity, and clean, highly digestible single-protein food reduces the burden. Start with Chicken and use a 7–10 day transition.
