The chicken and pumpkin would be fine to mix with the dogs kibble, but this cannot be used for their main diet! It is FAR from balanced!
dogs have to have calcium and their diet needs to have a balanced calcium/phosphorous ratio. One of my dogs is on a home cooked diet, but I had it formulated by a canine nutrition consultant.

Hello,

My girls and I have a year old Miniture Dachshund named Scout. He has always had super bad breath and I’m positive its not his teeth. It’s almost like rotten trash. He also seems so skinny. We buy him really nutritious food that he likes and he is wormed regularly. Do I have an abnormal little guy?

Hi Tiffany,

Congratulations and welcome to the Dachshund World! I’m sure Oscar is very cute as are all dachshunds. The amount of food is about the same amount we feed our Doxies when they were his age and they grow up really fast. What you want to do is to make sure that he does not become overweight and try to keep his weight in the low teens to reduce the load on his back to prevent possible injuries.

Hi! I am very new to the miniature dachshund world, and the dog world in general. Oscar is my first dog ever and he was born on March 27, 2010…he’s solid chocolate and the cutest thing I’ve ever seen However, I have a question regarding his food and his weight. He is already 10 lbs! My vet says that is normal, but I thought he might be putting too much weight on too soon.

Could you tell me if he is eating too much??? Sometimes it seems like a lot, and sometimes I feel like he isn’t getting enough!

3 oz. of Wellness Puppy Formula wet food in the morning.
1/4 cup of Wellness Puppy Formula dry food in the middle of the day.
3 oz. of Wellness Puppy Formula wet food in the evening.

Thank you in advance!

I recently learned that my new 3 month old dachshund pup has anal gland problems as well and I have been lost as to what to do for him about this problem. i’ve been giving him pineapple in his dog food to keep him from eating his poop because apparently it still smells ‘delicious’ to him when it’s coming out. So far it has worked, but i’m excited to try your recipe, with a little added pineapple. Do you have any suggestions, tips, or experience with any of your dachshunds enjoying their poop the second time around? Thanks in advance!

[...] the past year I cook the Dachshunds chicken and pumpkin dog food. It is extremely healthy for them and has enough fiber to help with the anal glads which Odie has [...]
