Protein For Dachshunds

This brave, independent pup needs plenty of energy to explore their environment and act as their family’s protector, which is where Ollie’s protein-rich recipes come in. Ollie’s human-grade meat sources, including chicken, beef, turkey, and lamb, provide lean protein and essential amino acids for building strong muscles and bones. Since the Dachshund is prone to obesity and back problems, a diet of lean, low-calorie protein is essential for their health and wellness. And, to prevent your pup’s soulful gaze as they beg you for more food, Ollie provides perfectly portioned meals to keep your pooch fit and trim.

Fat For Dachshunds

Moderate amounts of fat in your Dachshund’s diet will provide concentrated energy and the ingredients for a sleek, shiny coat. Although you may think fat doesn’t have a place in your dog’s diet, the proper amount of fat will fuel your pup without adding pounds. Plus, the omega-3 fatty acids in Ollie’s recipes, courtesy of cod liver oil and chia seeds, offer essential anti-inflammatory benefits to ward off back pain and joint inflammation in your long-bodied pup. Appropriate fat levels are also important for vitamin absorption, which assists in many key bodily functions in your dog.

Carbohydrates for Dachshunds

Carbohydrates get a bad rap, but the proper mixture of simple and complex carbs provide your Dachshund with the energy they need to dash after a squirrel, or dig for hours in your backyard. Clean-burning fuel is provided by sweet potatoes, peas, and rice, and no empty fillers make their way into any of Ollie’s recipes.

Complex carbs and dietary fiber go paw-in-paw for filling up your Dachshund and regulating their digestive system. Fortunately, Ollie’s got their back—no matter how long!—by packing their diets with fiber-rich butternut squash, kale, spinach, pumpkin, and blueberries. These colorful ingredients also bring tons of disease-fighting antioxidants to your dog’s dish.
