Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dogs that come with a few fun facts! For example, while the breed originates from Germany and is well-known for its distinctive short legs, did you know that the name “Dachshund” actually means “badger dog” in German, and their long body and short legs were bred to help hunt badgers. Another fun fact about Dachshunds is that they are known for being fearless, even though they are quite small in size.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic; they are known to cause allergies due to their long, coarse fur and shedding. Allergens include the protein found in their saliva, urine, and dander. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can range from runny nose, congestion, and coughing to itchy eyes, sneezing, and facial swelling. If you suffer from allergies, it's important to take caution when considering adding a Dachshund to your family.
Dachshunds do have unique dietary needs which should be taken into consideration when formulating their diet. Dachshunds have far shorter digestive systems than other breeds of canines so they need food that is high in protein and fat but contains fewer carbohydrates. Since they are prone to weight gain, portion control and regular exercise should be essential components of their dietary regimen. Additionally, Dachshunds should be fed meals at least twice daily, as opposed to one meal a day for larger breeds.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts by providing lots of love and attention! Make sure to give them adequate exercise and keep their environment stimulating. Socialize with other pets and humans to help them adjust to different people and other animals. Also be sure to keep up with your pup's routine health check-ups as this will help keep him or her healthy. Additionally, provide healthy treats as treats in moderation and always ensure that your pup has plenty of fresh, clean water that is easily accessible.
