5 Nutrition Tips For Healthy Dachshunds In Winters

Winter comes with more worry than just a change in weather. It signals the time to change the puppy’s meal. However, many pet owners do not know the importance of changing their dog’s nutrition during this time. In fact, dachshunds consume more calories to stay warm in cold weather. Dachshunds or other dogs usually like to be warm, eat a lot, but others hate wearing clothes. Many newborn puppies have difficulty getting enough nutrition to stay healthy. On the other hand, the sausage dogs often become lazy and lie in a position when they are sedentary. Lack of exercise leads to overweight, and an obese dog is not healthy at all. Therefore, here are effective nutrition tips to keep your dog healthy throughout the winter.

Increasing calories

For those doxie dogs that usually playing outside, you need to increase the amount of food for them. You should move from giving one meal a day to two, or even three small meals, adding warm, unsalted chicken juice to dry food can help your puppies eat more (about 10%), or simply turn the food into a higher-calorie type, which corresponds to the energy burned by the dogs.

Reducing the amount of food

When your dachshund has a weight problem in the winter, reduce the amount of food to keep him fit. In order to reduce the amount of food, simply limit your dog food intake, or switch to lower calorie food. You will need to measure the amount of food in the bowl each meal, instead of filling the food bowl for the dog to eat all day.

Choosing diet foods

You can also familiarize overweight dogs with weight loss foods. Just like humans, weight loss must be done slowly, and do not let them feel constantly hungry. Remember: different brands will have a different number of calories, and even food of one diet brand will have more calories than the other brands. Consider a diet with fewer calories than regular food.

Food supplements

Most dog foods are advertised to contain balanced nutritional content for each puppy’s growth stage (in other words, you don’t need to give your dog any other food.). However, you should know that some dogs still need to be supplemented with beneficial foods, such as digestion, or treat arthritis. Consider Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements for dog development.

Changing food slowly

Firstly, adjusting the dog’s meals in winter days is needed to help them absorb nutrition. However, changing meal suddenly can cause diarrhea, nausea, or simply make your dog anorexic. Therefore, you should feed them new foods slowly: mix old and new foods in a 50/50 ratio for the first few days, then gradually increase new foods and reduce old ones. Do this for one week to 10 days to minimize the dog’s digestive problems.

4 Reasons Why Puppies Love Rolling On The Lawn

Have you ever wondered why your dachshund loves rolling around on the lawn? Everyone seems to think this is a weird game for dogs, but actually, this behavior is very normal in the dog world. The following are the 4 most common reasons that researchers explain for the behavior.

1. Instinct is inherited from hunting dogs

The wolf is a distant relative of the domestic dog, some behavior of the wolf that resembles the dog. According to Pat Goodmann (researcher and manager of the Wolf Park in Indiana), when a wolf smells a strange smell, he begins to smell and then rolls back and forth on that scent, letting the strange smell reverberate on his entire body (especially around the face and neck area). When this wolf returned to the pack, its friends received a new scent by sniffing the scent very carefully. At Wolf Park, Goodmann and his colleagues observed a few examples of wolves following scents to find their hosts.

2. Eliminating irritating smells

A dog has more than 220 million olfactory organs in the nose (while humans only have about 5 million olfactory organs), so they will have more sensitive olfactory than humans. The scents that we love such as shampoos, perfumes, etc. are not pleasant for your puppy. Therefore, when they smell these odors, dachshunds tend to want to eliminate those irritating odors by rolling on the grass.

When using dog products with scents, try various pet shampoos and hair products until you find your dog’s favorite scent. If you can’t find the right smell, you can use unscented pet care products.

3. Helping relieve itching

Sausage dogs that rolling around on the lawn can be a warning sign of a health problem that causes itching on the body. This symptom may be caused by skin allergies or insect stings. The owner should take the pet to the vet to see if the dog exhibits a lot of itching.

4. Being inhibited

If you find that your dachshund is constantly rolling around on the lawn, this could be a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder (a chronic psychological disorder, obsessive thoughts, worries with no good reason and to perform compulsive behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety.)

To overcome this situation, Professor Sofia Yin (veterinarian and animal behavior analyst) recommends that you should keep an eye on the dog’s olfactory stimulants and prevent him from rolling around constantly. On the other hand, the owner can set up fun games for the dog, and reward him for forgetting the bad habit.

In general, the act of rolling on the lawn is not dangerous to the dachshund, but the things hidden on the other lawn are dangerous for our pets. There are not only pesticides, toxic herbicides, insects that transmit intermediate disease, but also bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Therefore, the owner should keep an eye on the signs and pathologies in the dog to promptly prevent pathogens from happening on the lawn.

Why Do Dachshunds Often Wag Their Tails?

Dachshund owners often think that puppies wag their tails only to show that they are happy. However, that is not necessarily true. Dachshunds or other dogs often use their tails to express emotions and it depends on the position of the tail so that we can understand our dog’s emotions. It is also important to understand the mood of the dog through the movement of the tail so that we can understand more about our dog puppies and also know what we can do properly things for our dogs.

They are exciting

When dachshunds feel happy or excited about someone or something, they will wag their tails vigorously and continuously. If you are standing in front of your dogs and they are wagging their tails continuously. It’s sure that they are excited about your appearance and being friendly and want to be closer to you.

They are feeling at ease

Dachshund dogs will feel comfortable when their tails are in a general state. Most dog breeds will do the same.

They are worried

When the dog’s tail is wagged lower than its general position, it will hand down to the dog’s body if there is something frightening the dog.

They are curious

When the tail is outstretched, there must be something that intrigues the dog and the dog wants to discover it right away.

There are many studies showing that the dachshunds or other dogs can express their emotions beyond the position of the tail. For example, when they are wagging their tails to the right, they are feeling positive and conversely. When they are waving to the left, they are feeling uncomfortable about something. This is true when the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, associated with positive behaviors or emotions, and vice versa for the right brain.

Is it interesting? Understand the movements of the dog’s tail to know what your dog is feeling!

To form a firm friendship, we must use our love and our loving actions to create trust in them. But first, understanding dachshund’s body language is a lesson that every owner needs to keep in mind.

Putting their tails down

When dachshunds wag their tails down and wave slowly, it means they do not know what to do. It is also a sign of the question “What do lovely dachshund puppies want me to do?”.

Putting their tails up

If the tails of these 4-legged friends are raised and wagged, it means they’re ready to do so.

When they are ready to play, the puppy eyes will stare wildly and blink.

Tail between legs

When scared, in pain, or uncomfortable, the doxie dog will clip his tail between his hind legs. Therefore, if their tails are often in such condition, you should take them to the vet.

Ears standing up

Going to a new place, dachshunds will feel very curious. At this point, their ears will stand up.

Ears down

However, when frightened, one or both of their ears will hang down. This happens when they meet strangers or people who scare them.

Opening mouth wide

When dachshunds open their mouths, this means they are getting nagged with anger. This action usually takes place when they encounter strange dachshunds. However, humans who are attached, they open their mouths.

Face licking

Licking is a sign of stress, depression, or anger.

Showing teeth

Showing teeth but not growling is the way dachshunds protect their territory. For example, protect your diet.

Eyes open wide

Dachshund’s eyes are also the soul’s window. When they open their eyes wide and give off a cool look, they are paying attention to you. Remember to respond to this friendly act!

Lying with their stomach up.

Feel happy when dachshunds roll and expose their stomachs in front of you because they have to trust and want to please you, so they act like that. In return for the loyalty of friends, rub their bellies.

Rubbing their face on your knees.

To attract attention, dachshunds often rub their faces on their owners’ knees. That proves they need you. Pressing your nose into your hands means they want to be pampered.

Putting their feet on your knees

If your sausage dog puts his foot on your knee, looks smug, look him in the eye and slowly give up his paws because this action means they’re complacent.

Putting up one leg

A raised leg proves that the dachshund wants to call you. Maybe it’s because they’re hungry, want to play, or just find something interesting.

Turning their back on you

To show their confidence, dachshunds will turn their backs on you.

Dachshunds shake their bodies as a way to relieve stress, such as after bathing.

Diets must be full of nutrients and energy: Protein, fat, starch, minerals and vitamins from natural foods. Do not overuse drugs or synthetic foods. Be careful not to overeat milk, fish, and fat. Specifically, dog food should include rice flour, cornflour, minced meat or cattle organs (buffaloes, cows, horses, limiting pork due to indigestion).

Dachshunds – The Most Fictional Dogs

Special appearance of Dachshund

Body

Dachshunds are dogs with strange bodies, if you see them for the first time you will feel a bit confused because of the imbalance of their body parts. Their bodies are quite long, on the contrary, their four legs are quite short. When compared to the body length, it is much shorter. Because of such physical characteristics, they are called sausage.

At first, this breed is usually used for hunting, their bodies were quite suitable. can burrow deep into the cave to catch rabbits, mice, and so on. Thanks to their small body, they do this job so well.

In additions, they have a quite long head with deeply sunken abdominals, their chest muscles are large and extremely toned. Moreover, their eyes are slightly protruding, the ears are drooping, make them look extremely cute.

Size

Dachshund dogs are divided into 3 basic types and they mostly differ only in body size. This is also the basis for you to choose which breed you should buy.

Standard Dachshund has a height of about 30-35 cm and weighs 9-15kg when mature.

Miniature Dachshund (small): This is a hybrid Dachshund, they are the result of a purebred Dachshund with the German Spaniel, so they are slightly smaller in size with a height of about 20-25 cm and a weight of 4-5 kg.

Toy Dachshund (toys): Once fully grew, they only weigh about 15-20 cm and the weight is quite light only about 3.5 kg. Because of their small size, they are known as the mini Dachshund. These dogs were bred from purebred Dachshunds with Terriers and Schnauzers.

The Fur And The Color

Thanks to the coat of each baby, the experts have analyzed and divided into 3 basic types of dogs:

Long-haired Dachshund dog

Short-haired Dachshund dog

Fluffy-haired Dachshund dog

Most of the dogs’ fur is quite smooth and shiny. Also, they are known as monochrome dogs. Because the color of the hair on their body is almost black or bronze brown. Parts such as the muzzle, tummy and 4 legs are brighter, yellow or chestnut.

However, there are a few types that are mixed in two colors, but these are quite rare. Some basic colors such as chocolate, dark black and light brown, …

What are the personalities of a Dachshund dog?

Today the Dachshund has a much smaller body size than their ancestors. However, their personalities remain and retain their outstanding identities as they used to:

Activity and mischievous

Dachshund puppies are often enjoyed being walked out, and they especially hate being kept indoors for too long, especially in tight spaces. They also enjoy digging sand and playing frisbee, they also enjoy hunting small animals.

Besides, if you do not chain them or look after them, the possibility that they will run away from home will happen often. Besides, Dachshunds barked loudly even though their bodies were extremely small.

Braveness, strength and being quite shy

Because this dog has an ancient origin as a hunting breed, they retain their extremely brave and strong nature. They may even be ready to battle with opponents that are much larger than them. If they realize that the owner is in danger, they will quickly go to rescue.

However, they are extremely shy and even afraid of strangers. Especially they do not want non-family members to touch their bodies and their house-keeping ability is also very poor.

Loyalty and love for children

The dachshund has an extremely noble quality that is very loyal to their owners, they only worship one owner. Therefore, you should avoid raising an adult one because they will still remember the old owner and disobeying you, even expressing an opposing attitude.

If your family has young children and adopted Dachshund breeds, you will not need to worry about letting them play together. Simply because this dog is very swaddling and extremely friendly. They like to run, play or chase with the kids. However, you should still control the situation to avoid unfortunate events.

Being too stubborn and a little hard to teach

Dachshund is not a docile dog and obeys its owner. They even deliberately protested if they were not satisfied with their owner’s orders. For example, if you forbid them from entering the bedroom, in the opposite, the curious nature will make them find a way to get in, especially when you are not at home.

Because of their unpredictability, you will have a lot of difficulties in teaching and training this dog. You need to tell them who is the owner, what they are not allowed to do and the commands they need to follow.

So when they are 2-3 months old, you need to start training them. The more they grow, the more aware they are and they will become more stubborn and destructive, extremely difficult to put on the framework.
