When feeding your Dachshund puppy, it is crucial to prevent overfeeding. Dachshunds are prone to obesity, which can lead to health issues such as back problems and joint issues. Follow the feeding guidelines provided on the puppy food packaging based on your puppy's age and weight. Avoid giving them too many treats or table scraps, as this can contribute to overfeeding.
Monitor your Dachshund puppy's body condition regularly to ensure they are maintaining a healthy weight. You should be able to feel their ribs without excess fat covering them.
