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,

It's important to do your homework and pick a quality food for our little guys and gals! Personally, I love the holistic pet food created by veterinarian Dr. Jane Bicks. She has her own stand-alone manufacturing facility, so there is no worry about cross-contamination of equipment by other pet-food manufacturers using lower-quality ingredients. She makes the food in small batches and quality control tests every one. She uses only human-grade ingredients, and no corn, wheat or soy products. No preservatives or dyes. The foods are fast-cooked to retain the maximum amount of nutrients, and she refuses to sell the product via stores because she doesn't want it sitting on store shelves (because of the absence of preservatives). So you order it online through a registered agent, and it ships to your door! The best part is that she encourages customers to call into a monthly conference call she does and ask questions about the food. Can't do that with Iams or Science Diet! The registered agent I use to buy my food through is my local no-kill shelter. Their site for Life's Abundance is www.HumaneSocietyPetFood.com My shelter gets a portion of the proceeds, so if you're going to order, please use the above web site! Also, please note that each 40-lb bag of kibble contains approximately 160 cups. Each cup of dog food has 483 kcal/cup. Check whatever food you're using now, because this is very nutritionally-dense food and most people find they need to feed much less of it to maintain their pets' weights. I cut my 70-lb pointer back from 2 cups twice a day to 1.3 cups twice a day. My heeler gets half a cup twice a day. Hope this helps! I just love the products! Catherine. Thanks for the information!
