RAJ Canin FCI, renowned breeder of Wirehaired Kaninchen Dachshunds, has shown a clear preference for the feeding of Royal Canin as a nutritional basis for your dogs. In your quest to maintain excellent health in your rabbit size dachshunds, which reach a maximum weight of approximately 4 kg in adulthood, we at RAJ Canin have opted for Royal Canin's specialised line, which offers solutions designed to meet the specific needs of each stage of a dog's life.
Nutrition from the Start: Babydog Milk for Infants
For newborn Kaninchen Dachshunds, especially those in need of milk supplementation, Babydog Milk by Royal Canin offers an ideal choice. This formula provides the nutrients necessary for balanced growth and a healthy digestive system in the first weeks of life. Babydog Milk is a highly digestible milk containing essential fatty acids and DHA, a key nutrient in the developing nervous system of puppies.
Early Growth Stages: Starter Mother & Babydog - MINI
As Kaninchen Dachshunds progress through their first weeks of life, it is essential to introduce a diet that will help them adapt to eating solid food. The Starter Mother & Babydog – MINI is ideal for this time of transition, both for puppies and for pregnant and nursing mothers. This food is formulated to provide energy and essential nutrients to promote the immune development and healthy growth of puppies, while helping mothers to regain their energy and stay in optimal condition during lactation.
Optimal Growth for Puppies: Puppy - X-Small or Puppy - MINI (2 to 10 Months)
Between 2 and 10 months, Kaninchen Dachshund puppies require a specific supply of proteins, vitamins and minerals to stimulate their development without overloading their digestive system. Puppy – X-Small or Puppy – MINI by Royal Canin are perfect for this growth phase. With a formula that supports intestinal health and the formation of natural defences, these foods ensure complete nutrition for Kaninchen Dachshund puppies to grow strong and healthy.
Adult Care: X-Small Adult or Mini Adult (over 10 Months)
From the age of 10 months, Kaninchen Dachshunds reach maturity and require a food that helps them to maintain their general health, covering their calorie requirements without exceeding their nutritional needs. X-Small Adult or Mini Adult, both formulated for small breeds, provide the right combination of high quality protein, fiber and antioxidants, essential for maintaining ideal weight and overall good health in adults.
For Older Dogs: X-Small Adult 8+ (from 8 years old)
As Kaninchen Dachshunds age, their metabolism changes and they require special care. X-Small Adult 8+, specially formulated for dogs over 8 years of age, helps maintain vitality and supports cognitive function in older dogs, providing specific nutrients such as antioxidants and a moderate phosphorus content to promote kidney health and prevent overweight.
For Weight Management: X-Small Light Weight Care
In cases where the dachshund kaninchen needs stricter weight control, we recommend X-Small Light Weight Care. This feed is low in calories and helps control body weight without sacrificing nutrition, ideal for dachshunds that may be at risk of becoming overweight.
Importance of Wet Food and Quantity Adjustment
To supplement the diet, in RAJ Canin FCI we believe that adding wet food options to the diet is essential. Wet products from Royal Canin offer a different texture and taste, as well as being more hydrating, which facilitates digestion and improves the attractiveness of the food for dogs. The combination of dry and wet food is recommended, always taking care to adjust quantities to avoid overfeeding.
Quantity Adjustment according to Animal Weight
Finally, we would like to emphasise the importance of adjust portions according to the weight of each dog., it should be fed in a way that meets their needs without promoting unnecessary weight gain. Small dogs such as the Kaninchen Dachshund require close monitoring of their diet to maintain their ideal weight and avoid health problems.
Conclusion
The choice of RAJ Canin FCI by Royal Canin is a testament to its commitment to health and wellbeing of their dachshund kaninchen. Thanks to Royal Canin's complete range of options, from milk for infants to specific feeds for seniors and weight-controlled dogs, RAJ Canin ensures that every dog has a balanced, healthy diet tailored to its nutritional needs.
