In this video I’m taking you through my real daily routine with my miniature dachshund, Stella—from the second we wake up to dinner time. The very first thing I do is a quick backyard pee break (it buys me time before her proper walk), then we head into breakfast. Stella has always had a sensitive stomach and she’s honestly a bit of a picky eater (which is not very “dachshund” of her), so I keep her food simple with kibble plus a PetLab Co probiotic chew as a meal topper. Since focusing on her gut health, her stomach has been so much better and she actually eats two meals a day now. After breakfast we do a short walk so she can poop, and then it’s usually chill time while I work. I also show what I do when I need to leave the house—Stella is three now, so I don’t crate her every time anymore, and I’ll check in on her with my Furbo (she’s usually just rotating between naps and water breaks). Later in the day we run to Pet Value to restock her Performatrend kibble and grab hide-free chews (I prefer no-hide alternatives over rawhide because digestion/safety). Then we finish the day with evening exercise (walks, fetch, playing outside—no dog park for Stella anymore) and dinner, which she doesn’t always finish.
