Dachshund Needs
Basic Needs
- Chew Toys! (Lots of Them)- Dachshunds are considered extreme chewers and will chew anything that they think they own. Which is everything!
- Harness and Lead- It is wise to purchase a harness for a dachshund because it provides more support on the puppy's body in teaching him/her to walk on a leash.
- Crate or Den- Dachshunds are very social animals, but they need time to themselves especially in loud and exciting places.
- Healthy Food- Peanut prefers Nutro Natural Choice small dog formula and a dolop of Beechnut Chicken baby food for added protien. This recipe was recommended to me by her vet.
- Bedding- Dachshunds think that they own the world and if you are not a fan of having your little furball sleep with you, you need to train him/her to sleep in a bed. (or crate)
- Veterinarian- There are many vets out there make sure that you find one that comes highly recommended through word of mouth. Dachshunds have special needs and many potential health problems that your doctor must be aware of.
- Lots of Love!- Lastly lots of love. Dachshunds are very socal and love people, but that quality is only brought out if you take good care of your puppy and show him/her lots of attention.
