For the older sausage who has put on weight as they have slowed down, which is the combination that worries every dachshund owner.

It does both jobs at once. Fat is reduced by 15% against the standard adult recipe while the food stays nutrient dense, so they eat a normal bowl and take in less. The full Joint Pack is in there, glucosamine 180mg/kg, MSM 180mg/kg and chondroitin 125mg/kg, alongside higher fibre to keep things moving as they get less active. Free range turkey is the leanest protein we work with, and it is a dachshund-sized kibble.

In the bag

  • 65% total meat, minimum 35% freshly prepared
  • Dachshund-sized kibble
  • Joint Pack (glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM)
  • Omega 3
  • FOS & MOS prebiotics
  • No grain, no wheat
  • Made in the UK

“A fussy eater is liking this kibble .”

Verified review

Lower in energy by design. For a young or very active sausage, the standard Free Range Turkey suits better.

From bowl untouched to bowl licked clean

1

The bowl goes untouched

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.

2

Swap to a sausage-sized kibble

Small kibble, one main protein, no grain. Sized for a dachshund jaw rather than shrunk down from a Labrador recipe.

3

Empty bowl, every meal

They wolf it down, lick the bowl clean and come running at teatime. That is the whole point.

The fussy test

Made for the sausage who refuses everything

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
Why it works

Your sausage is not fussy. The kibble is too big.

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.”

What happens next

The coat other people comment on

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”

Got Questions?

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.
