Royal Canin Dachshund Adult Dry Dog Food
This Royal Canin formula is designed exclusively for pure breed Dachshunds over 10 months. The Dachshund’s signature physique demands superior bone and joint support to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Since the breed also has a tendency to gain weight, keeping the Dachshund at a healthy weight can also help to alleviate additional stress on their skeletal structure and joints. This is why it's important to feed a diet that is tailor-made for their specific needs.

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your dog's temperament, activity level and environment. If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain grains?
Grains can be a healthy part of any cat or dog’s diet. As always, we focus on the nutrients each ingredient provides and grains can provide many important nutrients.
How do you ensure Royal Canin diets are safe for my pet?
Our Quality and Food Safety systems are state-of-the-art and we continue to invest heavily in new technology to make sure they remain that way.* We put our suppliers through a rigorous selection process that doesn’t end with our first purchase.* We monitor every load delivered to our plants to verify the safety and quality of the ingredients we use to make pet food.* We perform tests on finished pet foods before they are shipped to our customers.* We manufacture every pet food we sell, in plants that we own; our plants are ISO 9001:2008 certified for Quality Management and ISO 22000 certified for Food Safety.

Based on size, age, lifestyle, and breed, each cat or dog has unique nutritional needs. For healthy pets, use our Product Selector to find the right diet for your cat or dog.If your pet is experiencing health issues, please refer to your veterinarian for more information. Your veterinarian will consider multiple factors when recommending an appropriate diet.
Tailor-Made Nutrition
Designed for the Specific Needs of the DachshundWhy Pure Breed Dogs Need Tailored Nutrition
From their personalities to their distinctive physiologies, pure breed dogs have unique characteristics that make them sought-after and beloved companions. When choosing a formula, it's important to keep in mind the unique characteristics of your breed including:
Face and Jaw: All dogs fall into two basic jaw types: Brachycephalic or mesocephalic. Breeds with short, broad muzzles (like Bulldogs) are examples of a brachycephalic jaw. Breeds with a longer muzzle (like Labrador Retrievers) are examples of mesocephalic breeds. The jaw type, and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble.
Skin Types: The skin's most important function is to serve as a barrier of protection-but not all breeds have the same skin type. From wrinkled and folded (which traps heat and moisture) to sensitive or water resistant, precise levels of key nutrients help to support a breed's unique skin health needs.
Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From the color and texture to undercoats, each pure breed dog has a unique coat with unique needs.
Breed Specific Formulas
Every dog is unique. From the small, flat-faced Pug to the obesity-prone Labrador Retriever, Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition is tailor-made to address the unique needs of pure breed dogs. These breed specific formulas benefit from the latest Royal Canin research on the selection of the best protein sources, unique nutrients and tailor-made kibbles.
Formulated for Dachshunds
Royal Canin's Dachshund Adult Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed Dachshunds over 10 months.
Joint & bone support: Dachshunds have short limbs and vertebrae which are subjected to severe mechanical stresses. This exclusive formula helps support healthy bones and joints with an appropriate calcium and phosphorus content.
Muscle tone: Dachshund Adult Dry Dog Food helps maintain muscle tone with an appropriate protein content and L-Carnitine.
Stool & odor reduction: This formula helps reduce fecal smell and volume and support healthy digestion with highly digestible proteins, an appropriate fiber content and high-quality carbohydrate sources.
Exclusive Kibble
Dachshunds have a slightly arched muzzle and powerful canine teeth that fit together in a scissors bite. Dachshund Adult Dry Dog Food features kibble that's designed to make it easier for them to pick up and helps encourage chewing.
Why Royal Canin?
Over time, Royal Canin has accumulated vast knowledge about cats and dogs that only extensive research, scientific study and tireless talks with pet professionals, veterinarians and owners can provide. That knowledge led them to develop precise nutrition for cats and dogs. Each Royal Canin formula is tailored to pets' size, age, lifestyle and breed and contains more than 50 perfectly balanced nutrients for the most effective diet possible.
Their focus on science puts pets at the heart of the formulation process, choosing only ingredients that optimize the food's nutritional content. Royal Canin also continues to invest heavily in new technology to ensure their quality and food safety systems remain state-of-the-art, so pets can continue to benefit from the latest in food health and nutrition.

Price and satisfaction
By Daisy on Sep 12, 2019
This review will cover a history of purchase. I have bought product for years. Very good stuff. I had a bag show up over cooked. That turned into 4 bags overcooked. I called Chewy and they did not know what the problem was. I got the lot number and figured that the entire day product run was over cooked. I asked Chewy to replace all the product with a different lot run. Problem was solved. Now the best part is I only paid for the two original bags. Chewy sent me a total of 6 bags of food free. Four bags figuring out the problem and two more to correct the problem. Chewy service and customer care is the best? Hands down the best! I highly recommend them and their free shipping.

They love it
By Momof3 on Aug 25, 2019
All three of my dogs love this stuff. One is very picky and will eat this everyday. One has health issues and can only eat it sparingly. When he won’t eat I can get him to eat some of this. My daughters dogs, five of them love this too. When visiting, they all willingly eat this food. Very happy with the quality and all the dogs are happy with the taste. Win win

Great dry kibble
By Marti on Jul 30, 2019
Our two dachshunds are on this dry food, along with Royal Canin's lowfat wet canned food. We mix it half n half and they both LOVE IT! Based on the ingredients, it has what dachshunds require in order to support their needs such as joint/bone health. Very happy with Royal Canin foods!

Not Grain Free
By Jennifer on Jul 14, 2019
Good high quality dog food with grain in the ingredients. My Dogs love the food. This is good given the recent reports of a grain free diet may be damaging the hearts of our dogs per the FDA. Just started using this product. Very Happy and Dogs are Happy

Change in Dog Food
By kitty on Jul 17, 2019
Switch back to Royal Canin Adult Dachshund because of the FDA scare about Heart Disease in dogs with certain Brands and Breeds. Did not want to take the chance of some brand of Dog food can cause some adverse health issues for my dog.

New food with grain
By Augie on Jul 28, 2019
I got a notice from my vet that dogs need to have food with grain, so I switched to this dachshund chow and he loves it. Gradually added to his old kibble and no problem with digestion.

So far so good!
By PoorPup on Jul 12, 2019
My picky dachshund has been doing great on this food. He has gotten sick of other foods and our vet recommended this, so we gave it a shot. He is actually eating when we put his food down instead of picking at it over days!
