You are spot on for feeding Max.
If he is not neutered, please have it done.
We have 5 mini spayed mini dachshund females. Allow them up on furniture but we purchased pet steps from Petco and PetSmart. Saved on the back injuries.
Historically, common issues with this breed are teeth, uti's, spinal and hip issues.
Each of ours has a health program through PetSmart/Banfield Pet Hospital. A truly valuable insurance.
Our little pack are defenders of the realm.
Thank you for taking Max. He will reward you with his love and allegiance!
