How much should my Dachshund eat?

How much your Dachshund should eat depends on their age, size, activity level, and metabolism. On average, adult Dachshunds need between one-half and one-and-a-half cups of high-quality dog food per day, split into two meals. Puppies and more active dogs might need a bit more, while older or less active ones may need less. It’s best to follow the feeding guidance on your dog food package, as provided by your veterinarian, and adjust accordingly based on your Dachshund’s weight and energy level. Checking with your vet can help you tailor the amount just right.
