Dachshund Ideal weight range
7–11.5 kg
Dachshunds have a documented genetic predisposition to obesity, requiring fewer calories to maintain a healthy weight than most similar-sized breeds. Their chondrodystrophic build means every extra kilogram adds disproportionate stress to a spine already predisposed to disc weakness. Dogs managing back pain are often on long-term anti-inflammatory medication. FitFido keeps medication, food, and weight together so nothing gets missed.
Your dog is more than a breed average.
A generic range is just a starting point. FitFido uses your dog's unique breed characteristics, age, body type, and activity level to calculate their target weight and construct a custom plan that adjusts as you progress.
Please note that a dog's ideal weight depends on many individual factors, including height, bone structure, and overall body condition.
