Special approach to paws and nails:
Due to their short legs and active lifestyle, dachshunds’ nails grow quickly and can cause discomfort. Our groomers not only trim the nails but also file them to ensure your dog feels completely comfortable while walking.

Ear cleaning:
Due to their long, floppy ears, dachshunds can accumulate moisture and dirt, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. We gently clean their ears with special products that do not dry out the skin and help reduce the risk of infections.

Proper undercoat care – shedding prevention:
Dachshunds, especially short-haired and wire-haired ones, can shed heavily, leaving fur all over your home. We use professional deshedding techniques, and for breeds that require it, hand-stripping, to remove dead undercoat, keep the fur well-groomed, and reduce shedding on furniture.

Individual selection of cosmetics for each coat type:
Short-haired dachshunds need care that enhances shine, long-haired ones require hydration, and wire-haired ones need a special shampoo that preserves coat structure. We carefully select grooming products tailored to your pup’s coat type to ensure a healthy look and a pleasant texture.

Dachshund – a unique breed that has won the hearts of millions worldwide. They are known for their long, flexible bodies on short legs, giving them a distinctive charm. However, this breed is also full of energy, intelligence, and unwavering loyalty to its owner. The history of the dachshund dates back to medieval Germany, where these small but resilient dogs were bred for hunting burrowing animals. Their elongated bodies allowed them to enter badger and fox dens with ease, while their strong paws helped them dig. Due to their hunting nature, dachshunds are independent, brave, and incredibly enthusiastic.
Types of Dachshunds
Dachshunds are classified into three main coat types:
- Smooth-haired dachshunds – the most popular type, with a sleek, glossy coat that lies close to the body. They are easy to care for but need extra warmth in colder seasons, as their coat does not provide sufficient insulation.
- Long-haired dachshunds – elegant dogs with soft, wavy fur that adds a graceful touch. Their coats require regular brushing to prevent matting, along with proper ear and paw care.
- Wire-haired dachshunds – true warriors! Their thick, coarse fur, combined with an undercoat, provides excellent protection against cold and dirt. To keep their coat healthy and well-maintained, they require regular stripping (hand-stripping) – a special procedure for removing dead hair.
Dachshunds also come in three sizes:
- Standard Dachshunds – the largest of the breed, weighing between 7 and 12 kg and standing 20–25 cm tall at the shoulder. They are strong, resilient, and have a pronounced hunting instinct.
- Miniature Dachshunds – slightly smaller, weighing between 4 and 6.5 kg, with a height of 15–20 cm. They retain all the characteristics of standard dachshunds but are more suitable for apartment living.
- Rabbit Dachshunds – the smallest and most unusual variation, weighing up to 3.5 kg and standing 12–15 cm tall. They were originally bred for hunting small prey, making them highly agile, curious, and active.
Dachshund Personality
Dachshunds are intelligent, independent, and stubborn, yet incredibly loyal to their owners. Their hunting background has made them fearless, sharp-sensed, and quick decision-makers.
These dogs are very social, love being the center of attention, and enjoy accompanying their owners everywhere. However, they can also be stubborn and even manipulative—quickly learning how to get what they want and using their charming gaze to their advantage.
Dachshunds get along well with children and other pets when properly socialized from an early age. They love games, activity, and long walks, so don’t assume that their small size means they’ll be couch potatoes. They are energetic dogs that require constant attention.
Dachshund Puppies
Dachshund puppies are playful, curious, and unafraid of new experiences. However, they require proper training from an early age—if discipline is neglected, they quickly learn to do whatever benefits them most.
From the very beginning, it’s important to get them accustomed to coat care, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and regular hygiene procedures. A dachshund quickly adapts to a routine if the process is made enjoyable and doesn’t cause fear of grooming.
This breed is highly intelligent, and training goes smoothly when positive reinforcement is used. Dachshunds learn new commands quickly and love completing tasks, especially when rewarded with their favorite treats.
Dachshund Care
Dachshunds are relatively low-maintenance, but their unique body structure and coat type require regular attention. Basic hygiene includes ear cleaning, as their long, floppy ears can accumulate moisture and dirt, leading to infections. Nail trimming is also essential since their short legs do not always allow for natural nail wear, which can cause discomfort while walking.
Dachshund coat care varies by type:
- Smooth-haired dachshunds require only occasional wiping with a damp cloth and a massage glove to remove loose hairs.
- Long-haired dachshunds need frequent brushing to prevent tangles.
- Wire-haired dachshunds require hand-stripping to keep their coat healthy and prevent clumping.
Due to their elongated bodies, dachshunds need careful weight management, as extra pounds can put excessive strain on their spine. It’s also important to prevent them from jumping off high surfaces, such as sofas or beds, to reduce the risk of back injuries.
Regular grooming sessions help prevent skin, coat, and overall health issues. Grooming is particularly important for long-haired dachshunds. At V.O.G DOG SALON, we know exactly how to care for dachshunds, ensuring they look tidy, feel comfortable, and bring joy to their owners for many years!

Procedures essential for the health and beauty of a dachshund
✅ Bathing and skin care:
Dachshunds have sensitive skin, so frequent bathing without necessity can dry it out. It's important to use shampoos that maintain skin balance. We choose products without harsh ingredients, and for long-haired and wire-haired dachshunds, we use special restorative conditioners.
✅ Coat trimming:
Depending on the coat type, trimming may be necessary or optional. Smooth-haired dachshunds don’t require haircuts, but long-haired ones need regular trimming to prevent tangles. Wire-haired dachshunds undergo hand-stripping to maintain the correct coat texture.
✅ Hand-stripping for wire-haired dachshunds:
This procedure is essential for the breed, as wire-haired dachshunds don’t shed in the usual way. Instead, dead hair remains in the follicles, which can cause itching and discomfort. We manually remove old hair, allowing new fur to grow correctly and maintain its natural texture.
✅ Brushing the coat:
Long-haired dachshunds require regular brushing to prevent tangles, especially behind the ears, on the legs, and belly. We use brushes that don’t harm the skin and help maintain a neat appearance between grooming sessions.
✅ Hygienic trimming:
Trimming the fur in the groin area, around the legs, and under the tail ensures hygiene and prevents dirt buildup, especially in rainy weather.
✅ Ear cleaning:
Dachshunds' large, floppy ears tend to accumulate dirt and moisture, increasing the risk of infections. We gently clean their ears with a special lotion that doesn’t irritate the skin and remove excess hair inside the ear canal if needed.
✅ Nail care:
Due to their leg structure, dachshunds' nails grow quickly and can affect their gait. We trim them to a comfortable length to prevent walking issues and joint problems.
✅ Paw pad treatment:
Dachshunds’ short legs are constantly in contact with the ground and asphalt, which can cause dryness and cracks. We apply a special balm to moisturize and protect their paws.
✅ Dental care:
Dachshunds are prone to tartar buildup, which can lead to gum disease and bad breath. We provide teeth cleaning with special products and recommend proper dental care between visits.
At V.O.G DOG SALON, our groomers understand every detail of dachshund care and guarantee that your short-legged companion will receive top-quality service. Book a grooming session to keep your dachshund looking neat, feeling comfortable, and staying healthy!
Frequently asked questions from dachshund owners about their care
How often should a dachshund be bathed?
Dachshunds have sensitive skin, so frequent bathing can dry it out. It is recommended to bathe them once every 1–2 months or as needed (if they get dirty during a walk). It’s important to use special dog shampoos that maintain the natural skin balance. Smooth-haired dachshunds can simply be towel-dried after bathing, while long-haired ones should be blow-dried to prevent chills. For wire-haired dachshunds, bathing should be combined with hand-stripping to maintain coat structure.
How often should a dachshund’s nails be trimmed?
Due to their unique paw structure, dachshunds' nails do not wear down as quickly as those of dogs with longer legs, so they should be trimmed regularly—about once every 3–4 weeks. If the nails are too long, the dog may experience discomfort and alter its gait, which can lead to joint issues. It’s especially important to monitor the dewclaws, as they do not wear down naturally.
How to care for a dachshund’s long ears?
Because of their floppy ears, dachshunds are prone to dirt buildup and infections. Their ears should be checked weekly and cleaned with a cotton pad moistened with a special ear-cleaning lotion. If there is an unpleasant odor or excessive earwax, a visit to the veterinarian is recommended.
How often should a dachshund’s teeth be cleaned?
Dachshunds are prone to tartar buildup, so regular dental care is essential. Ideally, their teeth should be brushed 2–3 times a week with a special dog toothpaste and toothbrush. Chew toys and treats can also help prevent plaque formation.
Can a dachshund’s coat be trimmed?
Smooth-haired dachshunds do not require trimming, as their coat is naturally short. Long-haired dachshunds can be lightly trimmed—especially around the paws, under the tail, and in the groin area—to maintain hygiene. Wire-haired dachshunds should not be clipped with a machine, as this damages the coat texture. Instead, they undergo hand-stripping, a process that removes dead hairs and helps maintain a healthy coat.
