Donate a Grooming

Grooming is necessary for all dogs. Although grooming for smooth coat dachshunds is minimal, the other 2 coat varieties may require additional grooming. Smooth coats will not develop mats but they do need periodic grooming to keep their coats and skin healthy. Grooming helps with shedding and encourages new growth. Because dachshunds have long ears, they are especially susceptible to fungus and bacterial infections and should be checked weekly.

Basic grooming for all varieties includes:

• Nail Clipping
• Ear Cleaning
• Removing excess hair in foot pads
• Bath
• Anal Glands

Longhair and wirehair will require additional brushing and matt removal if you don't comb regularly. Some of our rescues come in with their coats in horrible condition and need the services of a professional groomer. Mats can be very painful and will develop into sores if not cared for properly.
