Dachshunds are a very active breed of dog, but they also have long backs, which means that their stomachs need to be filled in order for them to be at their best.
They can’t just eat anything and everything that is on the table because it will upset their digestive system. This article is going to show you what food types are suitable for dachshunds based on age, weight, and activity level.
What should I feed my dachshund?
You can feed your dachshund different types of food, including wet food, dry food, home-cooked food, and the BARFT diet (which consists of raw food).
They can also eat some vegetables and meat, but you need to make sure that the ingredients are not bad for their digestive system. If they have too much of those things, it can result in diarrhea or flatulence.
What should I feed my dachshund age one?
When your dachshund is a puppy (0-12 months old), you should feed it wet food and dry food that is specifically made for puppies.
Puppy food usually has more protein, fat, and minerals than adult dog food. You can also give them some boiled chicken or beef as a snack.
What foods are bad for dachshunds?
Some of the foods that are bad for dachshunds include onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes, and raisins.
These foods can cause stomach problems or even death in some cases.
How much should my dachshund eat?
Dachshunds usually eat between ½ cup and 1 cup of food per day, depending on their weight and age. You can use a food scale to measure how much they are eating so that you can make sure they are getting the right amount.
Dachshund BARFT diet
If you want to feed your dachshund BARFT diet (raw food), you should ask your vet whether it is okay or not.
Since dachshunds are usually very active, they need more calories than regular dogs, which means that raw food may be better for them.
