I was going to suggest trying a Thundershirt. I personally don't have one but they do work for some people. My doxie Stormi, go figure...lol, does not like the loud booming of Thunder and it sometimes causes him to shake and want to be held for comfort for a while but it's usually not so bad as...

What shots did she and your other doxie get. I remember this happening to one of my pups my schnoodle I believe after her first Bordatella or it may have been rabies, I can't recall the exact one now. However, I did notice she developed a quarter sized raised knot near the outside shoulder area...

So I kinda left this thread hanging as my dachsie Gizmo has been battling some very odd stomach issues. He's not had a firm stool since about the time I first wrote this thread which is alarming! He's been to his regular vet, which at this point I'm very displeased with, more times than I can...

I have a red but it's long haired. The funny thing is people marvel at how old my red boy is too for being 13 he doesn't have too much grey just around the mouth and a few strands of hair around the eyes. @Penny, our pups must have good anti-aging genes :P lol

I don't have that much freezer space but I have found a way to fit their first round of meats in the freezer. I have decided to go PMR mostly and I may cook a bit for them or feed them ground meats mostly when they need to go for kenneling and stuff or if I'm eating an especially good meal that...

You know, I've never really had this issue with any of my dachsies. They've never once been snippy to people. Stormi will get a little annoyed at another dog if he approaches wrong but he's never went after anyone or anyone else's animal. Stormi does have sensitive areas on his body such as...

So I am making this post for some advice. I have read some of you out there that cook for your dogs and wondered if anyone has done or tried a raw diet for their dachsie. I'm kind of skiddish to go toward raw but am interested but would even be alright with cooking for my pack (2 dachies and a...

I feed my guys Blue Buffalo Wilderness variety in the Senior formulation. I also add in the Blue buffalo soft food usually Chicken & Trout, Chicken & Duck etc. I ended up adding the soft food to the mix as well since Gizmo is a pretty picky eater and he would often pass up eating just dry food...

I had the most terrifying experience with my oldest, Gizmo, this past Tuesday at around 1:30AM. I awoke to hearing furious scratching. Gizmo appeared to have been sleeping near a box that he has taken over as his 'bed' instead of being in it though he was near it and the scratching that awoke me...

My Stormi is keenly aware of when I'm trying to photograph or video tape him, he will go as far as walking out of line of site of a shot I've set up of him on my camera or turning just as the shutter snaps or trying very hard not to look at me as I call and command to 'watch me.' lol He avidly...

I would not worry at all. He looks just fine to me. Both of my dachs stay between 9-11lbs. 11 is at the higher end when they are being piggies. Stormi loves to munch and steals food from his older brother and his little schnoodle sis when he can. When I wasn't being as vigilant about catching...

Hi fellow Dachie lovers and owners. I'm new to the forum and thought I'd drop by quickly and introduce myself. My name is Angela, I'm 30 years old and live in Virginia. I have a full family of 3 dogs, 2 of which are doxies. My doxies are Gizmo a very mild mannered old man, long haired and...
