Breed note

Dachshunds are highly prone to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) and obesity due to their long spine and short legs — even small amounts of excess weight dramatically increase spinal stress. Calorie-controlled, high-protein, low-fat nutrition with strict portion management is essential. Omega-3 fatty acids provide anti-inflammatory support for spinal and joint health. Calcium-phosphorus balance and glucosamine supplementation further protect spinal integrity.
