When it comes to feeding, feed 150-300 grams of meat and an equal amount of cooked dry vegetarian food each day, according to the size of the dog. The meat should be cooked in water, chopped, and mixed with a little boiling water and the dry food before feeding. Feed at fixed times and in a fixed place, and limit eating to within 15-25 minutes without letting it drag on, so as to develop good living habits. The food must be clean and fresh, food bowls and other utensils should be washed frequently, and clean drinking water should be provided.

Because of its special body shape, with a long body and short legs, the Dachshund is prone to becoming overweight, which can lead to diseases of various organs, so it must be ensured a certain amount of exercise. It should be allowed to walk and run indoors every day. If during activity it gets mud or dust on its body, wipe it off with a towel and a damp cloth to keep the coat clean and soft.

For long-haired Dachshunds, brushing should be given even more attention. First, brush with a brush along the area below the ears to make the feathering fuller and more beautiful. Then comb the front of the front toes and the parts below, as well as the feathering along the rear edges. Finally, starting from the shoulders, comb from top to bottom down to the lower part of its body; the hair below the hind leg joints can also be combed appropriately so that it does not mat. The hair between the toes can be trimmed appropriately so that walking is not hindered. The tail hair should be combed from the base of the tail down to the tip, removing dirt stuck to the hair.

For wire-haired Dachshunds, the coarse hair should also be combed for them; do not neglect it just because the hair is coarse and short, otherwise dirt will accumulate and lice will breed. In addition to combing, regularly use 2% boric acid water to clean away eye discharge (with degreased sterile cotton), earwax and dental plaque, and regularly trim the claws and nails.

Usually, train it not to bark or howl indiscriminately, and develop the good habits of not biting and tearing its coat and defecating at a fixed spot.
