2025 Goals For You and Your Dachshund: Building Healthier Habits Together!
Happy New Year, fellow dachshund owners! 🎉 As the champagne glasses clink and we promise ourselves we’ll finally use that gym membership, let’s not forget our short-legged, long-bodied besties who’ve likely made their own resolutions: “More treats, less baths!”🤣
But this year, we’re flipping the script. Let’s set some shared health goals that will benefit you and your dachshund in 2025. Because who better to hold you accountable than those soulful eyes that say, “You promised me a walk, hooman!”
Healthy Eating For You and Your Dachshund
For You: New Year’s resolutions often start with diet overhauls, but let’s keep it simple. Focus on whole, nutritious ingredients. Not only will your body thank you, but your dachshund might, too. Why? Because many dog-safe foods are also human-safe! (Sharing is caring, after all.)
Quick Recipe Idea: Sweet potato bites! Roast some sweet potato cubes with a drizzle of olive oil for you, and save a plain batch for your pup. Delicious and dachshund-approved.
For Your Dachshund: Dachshunds are prone to tummy troubles, so a balanced diet tailored to their specific needs is crucial. Incorporating probiotics into their meals can work wonders for their gut health and overall well-being. (Yes, even dogs need good bacteria!)
Affiliate Link Alert! Check out these dog probiotics that Maple swears by. They’ve helped her bounce back from “eating something she shouldn’t have” incidents more times than I can count.
Make Exercise a Priority
For You: If “move more” is on your list this year, why not include your dachshund? Regular exercise isn’t just good for your waistline; it’s a fantastic bonding activity. Commit to daily walks, jogs, or even a game of fetch. (Your neighbours will love watching you throw a ball that your dachshund refuses to return.)🤣
For Your Dachshund: Dachshunds are prone to weight gain, and their adorable little backs don’t handle extra pounds well. Make exercise fun with activities like obstacle courses in your yard or exploring a new dog-friendly trail. Don’t forget to keep it low-impact to protect those precious spines.
Pro tip: A probiotic-rich diet can boost your pup’s energy levels. Check out these probiotics that keep Maple feeling spry, even after her zoomies.
Mental Stimulation For Both of You
For You: Let’s make 2025 the year you learn something new. Take up a hobby or skill that brings you joy and keeps your brain sharp. Maybe it’s journaling, painting, or even baking dachshund-shaped cookies. (Just me?)
For Your Dachshund: Boredom can lead to mischief—and by mischief, I mean chewed slippers and overturned trash cans. Keep your dachshund’s brain busy with puzzle feeders, scent-tracking games, or teaching them a new trick. Maple’s latest? Rolling over and looking cute while doing it.💕
Strenghten Your Bond
Beyond health goals, make 2025 the year of connection. Spend quality time together, whether it’s cuddling on the couch, training sessions, or planning a dog-friendly day out. Bonus points if you take cute pictures to share with the world.
Gut Health Is The Gift That Keeps Giving
Did you know a healthy gut is linked to improved immunity, better digestion, and even happier moods—for both you and your dachshund? It’s true! Incorporate probiotics into your routine and your pup’s diet for a win-win.
Here’s what Maple loves: Probiotic Supplement for Dogs. Easy to sprinkle on her meals and packed with good bacteria her tummy adores.
Conclusion: A Healthier 2025 For You And Your Dachshund
This New Year, let’s embrace the journey of healthier habits together. Your dachshund’s wagging tail will keep you motivated, and your commitment will give them a happier, healthier life. It’s a win-win.
