Stop paying the cheese tax.
The one to reach for when nothing pale-coloured is getting eaten any more.
Angus beef is the strongest smelling protein we make and it carries naturally occurring collagen from the freshly prepared meat. It is also a dachshund recipe, made denser on purpose: more energy per mouthful, because a dachshund needs more fuel per kilo than a Labrador and has nowhere near the room to put it. The superfood blend is five ingredients doing actual jobs rather than a list for the back of the bag.

If beef has not agreed with your sausage before, the Scottish Salmon or the Venison are the ones to look at.

Grated cheese, a bit of chicken, standing over them while it goes cold. You have tried raw, subscriptions and the vet's recommendation, and you are still doctoring every meal.
Small kibble, one main protein, no grain. Sized for a dachshund jaw rather than shrunk down from a Labrador recipe.
They wolf it down, lick the bowl clean and come running at teatime. That is the whole point.
Of the 1,447 reviews owners have left on our food, the single most common thing they tell us is that their fussy sausage finally ate. Not that it is nutritious. That the bowl went empty.
“Finally after 9 years I have found a food that my dog will eat”
Verified review, Superfood Angus Beef
A dachshund has a long, narrow jaw and small teeth. Standard kibble is awkward to pick up and harder to chew, so they give up and walk away. This recipe is made small from the start, which is the one thing a general premium brand cannot copy.
“Finally! A perfect sized kibble which has worked wonders for sensitive tums.”
Verified review, Senior Superfood Turkey
Once they are eating properly, owners tell us the coat is the first thing that changes. It is the second most mentioned thing in our food reviews, and often it is somebody else who spots it first.
“Everyone comments on how shiny his coat is”

Bert loves his Superfood Angus Beef...🐶🐶🐶
Our boys thrive on the Aberdeen Angus Kibble ❣️❣️❣️
My girl loves this food. The kibble is small enough for her. We’ve noticed her coat is softer and her skin is less irritable than before.
Our mini dachshund is so picky with foods and would only eat dry food unless it has wet food mixed in. When I bought this dry kibble however, she ate a whole bowl of it without any additional toppings over it. She absolutely loves it
A happy pile of sausages who thrive on the Superfood Angus 🐶🐶🐶
Our boys well satisfied….yum
Healthy sausage blanket 🤪
All 3 of my girls love this superfood they can't get enough of it.

Dusty loves the Super beef
My 2 dachsies absolutely love all the flavours . I believe the superfood beef and the small kibble duck are their favourites ! They are very fussy dogs so I mix with a little chicken or beef , look round and it’s all gone . Will keep repurchasing for sure .
Their shiny coats say it all 🐶🐶🐶🥰
Our three sausage absolutely love and enjoy this food !!!!

My little dachshund who is the love of my life adores all Sausage Dog Sanctuary dog treats and dog food and I love spoiling her!!!

Daisy loves the Angus beef! It’s the best thing we have found for her delicate tummy
Both our boy’s love their food now after being picky eaters…and recently we added another to the pack so we shall be looking to buy the puppy food 😋
Fantastic service, fast delivery and the dogs love it! 🐶🐶
Mork and Mindy, picture is of Mork absolutely love their new kibble and don’t leave a drop. Other kibbles used in past they would leave most of it, thank you for the obviously delicious kibble, only complaint they don’t get enough!
Both mini wires love the food
Fred and Frazer have been in the past very picky eaters, but now dance, skip and do twirling when it’s feeding time. We are so happy to see them loving their food. Thank you! Order for a 12kg bag on its way x
Frank with a full tummy in a food induced sleep. He loves this food and it’s gone in seconds. His coat is super shiny and he seems so much calmer than on other foods we have tried
Schatzee, or little treasure (in German) is a big mini. All muscle, full of love, licks and kindness. He lives his food - we add this kibble to wet to keep him interested, his teeth clean and also used as treats.
Amazing everytime
My puppy loves this food! His coat is lovely and shiny too
My little sausage dog is normally quite fussy but loves this dog food
Very fussy eater. He eats very little.but on a good day he eats well.vet says his the correct weight so all good
My puppy loves this food and I would 100% recommend
Penny has chronic pancreatitis and abhors any food designed for dogs! She will actually eat yours occasionally?over and above her mandatory chicken and/or venison, so think you can take that as a win!!
Their food never disappoints my pup!! Always a clean bowl after every meal
Buddy loves the new flavour! Couldn’t stop smiling 😍

We've got answers!
It is the first thing owners ask, so here is the honest answer. Most fussy sausages do take to it. Some do not.
That is exactly why we sell every recipe in a 2kg bag. Start there rather than a 12kg, so if yours is one of the ones who says no, you have spent a few pounds finding out instead of filling a cupboard. If the first protein does not land, try a different one. Owners often tell us the third flavour was the one.
On selected recipes, yes. Look for Small Kibble in the product name. Those are made small from the start for a dachshund jaw, rather than being a shrunk-down version of a bigger dog's food.
The rest of the range is a standard kibble size. If your sausage struggles to pick pieces up, or gives up chewing partway through a bowl, start with one of the Small Kibble recipes.
Slowly. Mix a quarter of the new food with three quarters of the old for two or three days, then move to half and half, then three quarters, then all new. Give it about a week in total.
Going straight to 100% on day one is the most common cause of loose stools during a switch, and it is easily avoided.
If you have no particular issue to work around, chicken or lamb are the usual starting points and the two most bought.
If your sausage has a sensitive stomach, owners tend to do well starting on a fish recipe. If they are carrying a bit of extra weight, look at the Light range. If they are under a year, start on a Puppy recipe.
No. You can buy a one-off bag any time and never hear from us about it again.
A subscription is there if you want it, mostly so you are not reordering manually every few weeks. You can pause or cancel it yourself whenever you like.
It depends on the size of your sausage and how much they are fed, but as a rough guide a 2kg bag will last a typical mini dachshund around three to four weeks, and a standard around two.
Feeding guidelines are printed on every bag, and there is a feeding calculator on the site if you would rather work it out by weight.
