Miniature-Dachshund Gifts

Whether you're spoiling your miniature dachshund for good behavior or looking for the perfect gift for the pet lover in your life, there are numerous gifts to choose from. With their naturally short little bodies, miniature dachshunds love to be cuddled and spoiled, and lucky for you, there are several optimal gift items for a variety of budgets and tastes.

  1. Leash or Collar

    • If you opt to purchase a more traditional gift such as a leash or a collar, you'll want to consider the size of the dog as you're making your selection. Even the most practical gifts can be useless if not selected properly. Think about not only the size to fit small enough around their little necks, but the weight of the collar as well. If you plan to take your pup out for a walk, the collar should be able to withstand the tug of the leash, so purchasing a cat collar for a small dog may not be ideal. Online dog-supply house TrendyPuppy.com features a series of collars, harnesses and leashes designed specifically for small dogs in a variety of styles.

    Bedding

    • Treat the pampered pup to its own throne with a luxury specialty bed fit for a mini king or queen. Glamourdog.com offers an array of low-elevation dog beds that are perfect for miniature dachshunds as their tiny legs don't have far to go for a little rest and relaxation. The Vive Le Chocolate bed is a Moroccan-style tent bed elevated less than 2 inches from the ground and includes a light brown wood spire and matching brown pillow.

    Dog Stairs &Furniture

    • Slip your pet into something comfortable.

      Dog stairs enable your miniature dachshund to climb up to a couch or bed with ease. Stairs are available in a variety of fun colors and styles like pink, red, polka dots and stripes. You can also buy various furniture items, ranging in price from under $100 to $500 for more decorative choices.

    Sling Carrier

    • There are a variety of carrier items for toting your tot around. For the times when the miniature dachshund wants to tag along for errands and sightseeing, DachshundGifts.com offers a sling made specifically for his small frame for slip-free outings. The sling is available in a variety of colors including denim, black, white and khaki and has front and side pockets for storing keys and a cell phone.
