I did everything to keep Daisy healthy routine vet trips to do blood work to make sure she was doing fine, i thought only the best food which was Merrick canned food and dry, but i gave both my dachshunds Merrick canned Turducken, within hours both were sick with dirrahea and throwing up, my 5 year old Doxie Macie came thru but Daisy passed away 5 days later from pancreatitis. There was to much fat in the food, my vet said that quality control is just not what it should be, i read several other statements on the internet saying the same thing about the merrick canned turducken, the pet food company just blew me off, Daisy was one of the most precious loving dogs i have ever had and i miss her each day, i feel like it was my fault for feeding her that food, my vet said that the big brand name so called best dog food company let me down, maybe someone will read this and not feed there small breed dog this food.

They are the most wondeful pet to own. So I'm really not sure if what I am feeding her is bad for her or not. I feed her Pedigree little bites and that is what I have feed her from the day I got her. Now 3 years later she wont stop itching.. She itches and digs so bad she makes her self bleed. So I took her to the vet 3 times in one month and he seems not to know what is the matter with her... All I know is it is breaking my heart just watching her... I have try-ed everything that I know of and nothing seems to help her. So if there is anyone out there that has any ideas I am so open to them....SOMEONE PLEASE HELP HER...

Within 2 weeks, our 8 year old male acted like he'd lost 5 years of age - he became his old bouncy goofy self, his coat became shiny and soft, and he just looked so amazing! Our little female was still young enough that the terrible effects of commercial food hadn't become obvious in her appearance. Since I've been cooking for my dogs, their health is astounding - I brush their teeth, too, because I don't want them to suffer the agonies of a toothache. Thanks so much for this!

Again good luck and I hope that with trial and error you are able to narrow down what is causing her problem soon.

Try to feed your Dachshund as pure a food as possible. Check what food you are feeding her and see what the ingredients are - check my post above. What she is eating could be causing her to lick her paws, however she may be doing that because her feet or legs hurt. Dachshunds are prone to this. If you decide the change her food please introduce it to her in small amounts mixed in with her original food. Now if you are planning to make her meals then add one new food at a time - ie if you want to add chicken then give her it with her food for a week or two and see how she is. Making sure she is only eating quality food, and only introducing one new ingrediant at a time for a week or two may point to the one that is giving her allegies. Good luck and please keep me informed, Karen Hi Sharon,
