I also have a picky dachshund! He put a little weight on so I put some cooked green beans in his kibble… the look I got was hilarious! He put the bean in his mouth and then looked up at me and he was not happy with his momma! He ate them , but he didn’t care for them.

I had a doxie that lived to almost 17 years old. I would give him the same food we ate: Chicken, fish, eggs, brown rice, carrots, peas, broccoli, apples, raw walnuts. The key with this amazing breed is to keep them lean. They are so prone to hip dysplasia and neck problems, so the worst thing for them is to get heavy. Also, try keeping them active. They love to run. Finally, be mindful of your steps in the house. Good luck

With my two boys, I used a high quality dry food, mixed with some cooked veggies maybe a piece of meat from the dinner table. I know, I know, everyone says no human food. Even some of the high quality wet food now has veggies in it. Just better from home because you now know what is in it.My Sharky lived to be 12 ,And my Bruce lived 17 yrs. But be very careful, Doxies tend to overeat. Need to watch their weight close. It very bad on their long back. Best of luck and God Bless.

I sauté a heaping tbsp of rice in 1/4 cup water for a couple of minutes then add a container of chicken livers and slow simmer for 30 mins. Add some salt and mash with potato masher. Let cool to warm and serve. This is enough for my 2 doxies for 3 days. On 2nd and 3rd day just microwave for 30 seconds to warm up. They just love it.

Zignature dry food. It’s very expensive, but my doxies are extremely healthy, so in the long run it’s cheaper than vet bills. They also never get tired of it. I switch between the Turkey and the Pork.

I moved my two mini doxies to steamed rice, baked chicken and black beans for about 6 months now. All tummy issues are gone. All picky issues are gone. No more vomiting. They’re energy levels are amazing and their coats are soft and shiny. Much healthier than dog food. They also each have a half an apple daily with carrots for snacks.

We feed with Fromm. You can change flavors without belly problems. Throwing some deli turkey, apple, broccoli, carrots, or scrambled eggs on top won’t hurt either.

When a dachshund is picky it’s because the owner is giving them too many choices of if intact they might be going through a hormonal spurt which affects eating in a young dog sometimes.. This happened with my first dachshund forty years ago and the dachshund experts told me to stop giving him so many choices as he was “working” me. Lol pick a quality kibble and stick with it. Some kibbles are made to be rotated also to deliver different proteins. Read your labels, no by products at all and no more than one pea product, look at dog foods that have meat/ poultry/ seafood proteins in the first two or three ingredients. Be aware that ingredients are listed in quantity on the labels so the first five ingredients are the most important and the most plentiful in volume. Fromms is a good dog food but some of their products now contain too many pea products. Natural Balance is also a quality food. There are many decent foods out there but you have to educate yourself on how to read dog food labels.
