DOG FAQ - How much grooming do Dachshunds need?

Apart from stripping/tidying the coat a couple of times a year, your Dachshund will need brushing and combing at least a couple of times a week, This only takes a few minutes, and is a good opportunity to check all round health. Take this time to make sure ears are clean, eyes free of discharges, and feet free of mud-balls between the pads. It‘s as well to get your Dachshund used to having his teeth brushed with a toothbrush, and "doggy" toothpaste, as this avoids health problems with tartar accumulation and associated gum disease. Nails will need to be cut every two to three weeks; this is something you need to get a puppy used to early on.
