Dachshund

Dachshund

Dachshunds have relatively low-maintenance grooming needs, but their requirements vary depending on their coat type. There are three main coat varieties: smooth, long-haired, and wire-haired.

Smooth-Coated Dachshunds

  • Bathing: Only when necessary (every few months or if they get dirty).
  • Other Needs: Regularly wipe their ears and paws to keep them clean.

Long-Haired Dachshunds

  • Bathing: Every 4-6 weeks, or as needed.

Wire-Haired Dachshunds

  • Bathing: Every 4-6 weeks or as needed.
  • Other Needs: Trim facial hair regularly to keep them looking tidy.

The most common Dachshund skin problems include:

  • Excessive itching and scratching
  • Dry skin
  • Rashes
  • Red bumps
  • Sores or Skin Lesions
  • Dandruff
  • Hair loss (either local or widespread)
