This is not right for a Dachie, they are usually eating machines.  Maybe consult your vet and try a different type of food.  Did you ever consider making your own food?  I made my own food for my Isis because she has bad allergies.  Dawn .............if you need receipes please let me know.

Have you tried wetting it down a little with warm water?  Or microwaving for a few seconds to heat it up? Or mixing a spoonful of canned food in with kibble to entice?  Or adding a few green beans or small bites of raw carrots?

Have her vetted.  She might have a problem with her teeth or tummy.  Usually a dachshund will eat anything, anytime!

When my Isis had allergies out of season we decided to see if it was food related.  My vet and a friend came up with this receipe.  You take either lean ground beef or ground chicken is the best.  Cook it, boiling is best, add a cup of boiled peas to one package of ground meat and then add six scrabbled eggs.  If your Dachie don't eat this, there is definately a problem with the dogs mouth or stomack... At least you will know..
