Questions & Answers

They also come in a variety of colors, including red, black, tan, blue, and cream. Typical Dachshund behavior includes barking, digging, chasing small animals and birds, and being very bold and spirited.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires following a few simple tips. First, bathe your dog regularly (once a week is optimal) and use a hypoallergenic shampoo. Also, vacuum your home on a regular basis to help reduce allergen levels. Additionally, keep pet hair off upholstery and bedding by using throws and covers which can be easily washed. When possible, try to keep your Dachshund outside during the day to prevent further spreading of allergens.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. Due to their small size, these dogs require a diet that is tailored to their breed one that not only provides them the nutrients they need, but is also easy for them to digest. When transitioning to a new diet, do so gradually over several days to allow their digestive system to adjust. Dachshunds should be fed a diet that is rich in animal proteins and is low in fat, carbohydrate, and fiber.
Before you bring home a Dachshund, you'll need to make sure they have all the essentials to keep them happy and healthy. Consider stocking up on a collar and leash, a good-quality dog food, plenty of suitable chew toys, a bed, a few treats, poo bags, a brush, a health record book and a pet first aid kit. Additionally, a crate is a great item to have on hand for housebreaking, travel, and having somewhere for your pup to retreat and relax.

It's important, however, to make sure that your Dachshund wears a flotation device for safety, and supervise the activity closely. With guidance and proper precautions, swimming can be an enjoyable experience for Dachshunds and their owners alike!
