Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known affectionately as 'weenie dogs' due to their elongated shape. They are an ancient breed that was originally bred to hunt badger and other burrowing animals. Dachshunds are highly intelligent and social dogs that make loyal and devoted companions. They are typically very friendly to kids and other pets. They come in shortand long-haired varieties and their coat color can range from light tan to chocolate brown or black.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be achieved through consistent grooming and vacuuming. Regular bathing is also important to keep their coat clean and reduce any irritation to those with allergies. Brush your Dachshund daily to remove any loose hair, fur, and dander that can trigger allergies. It is also important to keep your Dachshund's bedding and fur-coated surfaces clean and vacuumed regularly. Additionally, keep dander-triggering items, such as toys and beds, in a sealed-off area.
Dachshunds enjoy a variety of foods, but it is important to provide them with a balanced diet. The recommendation is to feed your dachshund a diet consisting of dry kibble, canned food, and some fresh, quality meats (e.g., boiled chicken or lean ground beef). This type of diet supplies them with the required nourishment to maintain strength, energy, and overall health. Along with quality food, it is also important to give your pet treats in moderation, as long as they are age and species appropriate.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is an important part of creating a happy and safe environment for your pup. First, sure to provide your pup with toys, a bed, and food and water dishes that are all sized properly for a Dachshund. Then, create a safe environment by puppy-proofing your home. Make sure they cannot gain access to small items, floors are free of choking hazards, and that there are no toxic plants within their reach. Create designated areas for their food, water, and bed to create consistency and help them learn their boundaries.

It's always important to start slow and take care that the water isn't too cold or deep, so that your pup can get used to the environment first and feel safe.
