Question
My rescued Beagle,Hannah Leah(5 years old)was weighed in at 35 lbs this morning at her annual check up.  For approximately the last 6-9 months, I have been feeding her a All Natural Dog food for Weight Control (1/2 cup dry, 1 table spoon canned wet food) 2 times a day.  Instead of her weight decreasing, it is increasing.  She has already had a back injury due to jumping and her weight.  She is relatively active (could exercise more). I am becoming increasing concerned and when she was at the doctor's today, they said she was not a candidate for a Thyroid issue, since her pulse/blood pressure were right in line.  I give her daily vitamins and glucosamine daily.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Ty,  I love Beagles!  Let's help her get rid of the excessive weight.
A slow loss is a long process but very safe.

Take Hannah off your Vitamins and Glucosamine and use My Brands.
I have 1000s of pet clients using my recommendations each day.  We have some great results:

I would like you to home cook for Hannah and use a Dry Kibble along with the home-cooked foods:

Most of my overweigth clients use Life's Abundance Weight loss formula-  You will only give her 1 cup of this in the am and 3/4 cup in the pm.  OnTOP of this dry kibble will be your home-cooked topper.

From the AKC site: About Beagles: Beagles are happy-go-lucky and friendly, making them a wonderful family pet. They are also favored for their compact size and short easy to care for coat. Since they lived in packs for hundreds of years, they naturally enjoy the company of other dogs and humans. Curious and comedic, they often follow their noses–which can lead to some mischief if they are not provided with daily activity.
