Dietary needs for a

Dachshund

Protein

Our little sausage dog friends are very food motivated and will do most anything for a T-R-E-A-T. But when it comes to their daily meals, a high quality source of protein is essential- if not expected :) Kabo uses high-quality, human-grade ingredients in each of their fresh recipes- including all proteins. 

Dachshunds are famous for being picky eaters, which may lead to a protein deficiency in them. Our Luscious Lamb recipe serves as one of the most tasty recipes for these picky and clever pets. If you require a grain-free diet for your pup, our Savoury Beef recipe is ideal! . For pups with an upset stomach, our Tender Chicken recipe is prepared with easily digestible ingredients meant to soothe tummies.  

Carbohydrates & Fiber

Dachshunds are a hunting breed and were originally bred in Germany 5 centuries ago to hunt badgers. They were selectively bred to have long bodies with stout legs to fit into the underground tunnels of badgers and other rodents.Therefore, doxies naturally require a high amount of energy from their food to function properly. That’s why we add healthy sources of carbohydrates to our Kabo meals.

To meet the energy needs of dachshunds, we use natural carbohydrates. These ingredients include chickpeas, sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, squash, and rice, varying according to the recipe.  We don’t use any corn or wheat, which are high in sugars that can increase your dog’s risk of developing diabetes. 

Fats

Everyone knows that fats are an essential element of a dog’s balanced diet. However, what most people are unaware of is that not all types of fat are beneficial. Additionally, excessive fat can lead to obesity, which results in joint issues in dachshunds.  

Chances of developing itchy skin and allergies are high in dachshunds. This is another reason to go for Kabo’s fresh cooked recipes, including our new fresh hypoallergenic Salmon recipe,  which includes antioxidants, and immunity boosters. 

Our recipes boast lean meats, sunflower and fish oil. These ingredients are rich in health-improving fatty acids like Omega-3 and Omega-6. No pricey supplements required.

“My 3 year old dachshund and wire fox terrier mix loves her Kabo! She will not eat her kibbles by itself but mixed with some kabo toppers she eats it so fast!

I personally love how the food is packaged (compact and easy to split within different meals) and that the boxes and everything else is recyclable.”
