Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are loyal, curious, and playful dogs who make small, but mighty companions. As the "weiner dog", they are known to have short legs and are popularly kept as house and companion pets. Though they are even-tempered, they can be quite daring and courageous at times and require obedience and socialization training. They do require regular exercise and can live happily in both small and large homes. Dachshunds typically live between 12 and 16 years, enjoy playing outdoors, and can be quite social if given the chance.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible but it requires a commitment to keeping their environment as allergen-free as possible. Start by thoroughly cleaning your home and yard to reduce potential allergens. Dust, vacuum, and bathe your Dachshund regularly to reduce the allergens that it carries, and use a damp cloth when brushing or combing its coat. Consider using HEPA air filters if certain rooms frequently aggravate allergies. Allergy sufferers might also consider using a vacuum with a HEPA filter to reduce allergen exposure.
Dachshunds should not be fed grapes or raisins as they can cause kidney failure. Additionally, it is best to stay away from foods that are high in fat, which can lead to digestive upset or worse, pancreatitis. Additionally, foods that contain sugar and/or chocolate should be avoided as they can be toxic to dogs and can present a risk of health issues. Onions and garlic should also be avoided, as they can cause anemia. Additionally, items that are hard to digest, such as rawhide or bones, should be avoided.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can seem like an overwhelming task, but these steps can ensure a smooth transition. First, research your pet's specific breed and familiarize yourself with their known traits and needs. Have all the necessary supplies ready, like food, a bed, a leash and collar, and any other required items. Establish an area of your home as your pet's safe space where they can feel secure. Make sure the area isn't too small, but small enough so that your pet feels comfortable.
