Grooming Tips

Grooming needs vary by coat type: smooth-coated Dachshunds need the least maintenance, wire-haired benefit from hand-stripping, and long-haired need regular brushing and trimming. All varieties benefit from regular nail trims — their low stature makes overgrown nails especially problematic.
