How to Groom a Dachshund at Home

The Dachshund — long in body, mighty in spirit! Whether smooth, long-haired, or wire-haired, this little legend requires more grooming than their size suggests, especially if they’re prone to rolling in mischief.” — Lola

At Lola’s, we are on a mission to bring joy to pups and their humans.

So, here are some tips from Lola herself to keep your Doxie Sleek & Stylish!.

At-Home Grooming Routine

Brushing:
• Smooth-coated: weekly with a soft bristle brush and/or rubber brush.
• Long-haired: daily brushing with a slicker brush and a metal comb.
• Wire-haired: Weekly brushing with a slicker brush and a metal comb.
Bathing: Every 4–6 weeks with a dog-safe shampoo (or more often if your sausage likes to dig).
Ear and Eye Care: Weekly checks — their floppy ears trap dirt easily.
Paw & Nail Care: Trim nails every 2–3 weeks; long-haired Doxies may need paw trims too.
Teeth: Brush with a dog-safe toothpaste 3 times/week minimum.

When to call Lola’s Pet Salon

When mats form behind the ears or tail.
When their coat gets dusty, dull, or just a bit too wild.
When it’s time for expert trimming — and a no-drama, sparkle-inducing ultrasonic clean.
