Questions & Answers

Although good grooming practices may help reduce the amount of fur and dander in the home, Dachshunds are not ideal dogs for highly allergic individuals.
Dachshunds do require special dietary considerations to ensure they stay healthy and active. These dogs are prone to gaining weight quickly, so feeding them portions that are adequate and appropriate to their size and activity level is very important. At mealtimes, they should be offered premium-quality, grain-free dry food or food specifically designed for Dachshunds. Nutritionally balanced wet foods may also work well, but these should not make up more than a quarter of their overall diet.

This includes scheduling regular veterinary checkups, providing a healthy diet, scheduling time for exercise and play, and providing love and affection.
