If you are owned by a dachshund, then you know how important it is to keep them at a healthy weight. This not only keeps them slim and trim, but it decreases the stress on their joints and back. There are literally thousands of choices available to consumers, but some aren’t as healthy as they appear to be. Here is some information on some of the good (and bad) treats for your dachshund.
The Bad:
One extremely popular product on the market is called Greenies. We used to give them to our dogs every once in a while as a special treat, until I came across some disturbing information on the internet. Here is a link to one of the websites with some more information on just how dangerous they can be. Greenies
