How to Care for Your Kindred Dachshunds Puppy
Dachshunds are small dogs with big personalities.
They are intelligent, sensitive, and deeply devoted to their families.

Proper care from day one helps your puppy grow into a healthy, confident, and happy companion.

We’ve gathered essential guidance to help make the transition smooth and stress-free.
  • Brushing
    Care depends on coat type:
    • Smooth coat — soft brush 1–2 times per week
    • Long-haired — brush 3–4 times per week
    • Wire-haired — regular brushing plus hand-stripping

    Tips:
    • Be gentle and never pull the coat
    • Introduce grooming gradually
    • Use a soft brush or rounded-tip comb
  • Grooming
    Dachshunds don’t require complex haircuts, but it’s important to:
    • Trim nails every 3–4 weeks
    • Check and clean ears when needed
    • Trim hair between paw pads
    Bathing is usually needed every 3–4 weeks or as required.
  • Exercise & Back Safety
    Dachshunds are active but require special care due to their long backs.

    Important:
    • Avoid jumping from heights
    • Use ramps or stairs for furniture
    • Maintain a healthy weight
    • Provide daily walks (20–40 minutes)
