Dachshunds may be more prone to certain health issues.
Some common conditions include:
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) – A condition affecting spinal discs that can cause pain, nerve damage, or paralysis, with treatment options ranging from medication and rest to surgery, which may cost between A$1,000 and A$15,000 per instance, as herniation can occur at different sites and often requires multiple surgeries over a dog’s lifetime.
Patellar Luxation – Mild cases can often be managed with lifestyle changes and physical therapy, while severe cases typically require surgery, costing A$1,500 to A$16,500 for complex and bilateral cases.
Dental issues – Due to their small, crowded mouths, Dachshunds are also prone to dental issues like Periodontal Disease. Regular brushing and dental treats can help maintain oral health.

With proper care, Dachshunds can lead happy and healthy lives.
Considering pet insurance is a smart move to manage unexpected medical costs and ensure top-notch care for your Dachshunds without financial worry.

10/10 personalised service!
In January, we brought a puppy (Bella) into our lives – she is beautiful! Recently she had a few gastro issues and subsequent vet visits. Knose Pet Insurance has been awesome. They acknowledged the claims immediately, and then followed up with personal emails advising us of the progress of our claims. We even received a message asking after Bella and a follow up to say how pleased they were that Bella is now doing well. Top class personalized service and a thorough explanation of the claim refunds. 10/10 guys!
