The Tiny Dachshund Puppy Is Too Fat To Roll Over!

Meet Tasha, the mini-dachshund puppy with a chubby little belly! She is an adorable little thing, lounging in her comfy bed. There’s only one problem – she’s laying on her back and from the looks of it, she may be a little too chubby to roll over!

Maybe she had a bit too much milk or she’s been having a little too much puppy food, but she really does have an adorable little belly! How do you know if your doxie is the right weight?

Well, according to PetCareRX, “The judicious eye of the Dachshund’s owner is needed to determine the ideal body weight of a Dachshund, and the correct quantity of a nutritious diet, plus regular exercise, are needed to maintain it. The breed standard, which can serve as a starting point, says the ideal body weight of a miniature Dachshund is 11 pounds or less, while standard Dachshunds will weigh from 16 to 32 pounds, depending on their body height and length. The Dachshund’s body should be lean and muscular with a pronounced arch behind the ribs, leading to the hindquarters. The Dachshund’s chest bone should visibly protrude, with a dimple on each side. If you notice that the fat around the chest covers the breastbone, or that the dog displays a rounded waistline that does not arch upward at the abdomen, your Dachshund is overweight. This holds true for both miniature and standard Dachshunds. At the ideal weight, you should be able to feel the ribs without probing through fat.”

Very good to know! Many puppies tend to have big bellies while they’re young but as they get older, they should slim down . Lucky for little Tasha, she’s still pretty young and just as adorable as can be!
