The beagle's way: from a fat man to a model!
An elderly hostess gave her very well–fed beagle to the Chicago Animal Care and Control Center, as she was no longer able to take care of her pet. Then the charming beagle was taken up by the volunteer company One Tail at a Time, which takes care of endangered dogs from shelters in Chicago. Heather Owen became his foster mother and couldn't believe how big he was. “The first time I saw him, it struck me how big he was,“ she said.
Despite the size of the beagle, Heather named it Kale Chips in honor of Kale's superfood cabbage. The new nickname has become a symbol of the changes that the dog must go through. Heather was determined to transform the 39-pound dog... and she did it!
With the help of dietary nutrition and training, Cale lost about 18 kg. A dog that was once barely able to stand now loves to chase squirrels in the park.
Excess weight of any animal causes stress on the joints. It can also provoke arthritis and even hip dysplasia.
"Keeping them slim is really important in trying to increase life expectancy,” said Dr. Jennifer Ashton. "It's not easy because a lot of dogs will just keep eating and eating and eating.”
After beagle Cale Chips appeared on The Doctors program and showed off his new athletic physique and fortitude, he was taken away by his family, who gave him a lot of love! The famous beagle has its own Instagram .
