That long back, those short legs, and their own special way of asking you for a walk, their eyes sparkling with love... Your dachshund is unique! This full-fledged family member deserves the most beautiful and safest options.
The Teckelshop guide helps you find the transport solution truly designed for your sausage dog, based on their size and tailored to your moments and outings together.
How to transport your dachshund: start by measuring them
The dachshund is a chondrodystrophic dog: their spine is long, and their intervertebral discs age prematurely, sometimes as early as 2 or 3 years old.
According to the Frégis veterinary hospital in Paris, dachshunds are 10 to 12 times more likely to develop a herniated disc than other breeds, and a sore back can be avoided by choosing the right accessories. Protecting their unique morphology is therefore the priority during your walks.
To learn how to transport your beloved dachshund using one of the bags from our collection, you must first measure them.
To choose a transport bag, take the measurements of your dachshund while they are lying down, from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail.
-
Size S is suitable for puppies and Kaninchen dachshunds (45 to 55 cm).
-
Size M is generally suitable for the Miniature (55 to 65 cm).
-
Size L can fit Miniature and Standard dachshunds (65 to 75 cm).
Our team is always available if you have the slightest doubt.

FAQ: How to transport a sausage dog
Can you transport a dachshund in a classic bag for small dogs?
Yes and No. A shoulder bag or "sling" sags under their weight and forces their back to arch. Their elongated spine needs a rigid base (or shell) along its entire length to prevent a herniated disc.
What is the difference between a backpack and a shoulder bag?
A backpack distributes the weight across both shoulders, which is ideal for long walks and cycling. The shoulder bag is the go-to for city travel; it's freer, and your dog is always close to you.
At what age should you get a puppy used to a transport bag?
From 3 or 4 months, gently: leave the bag open at home with their favorite blanket inside before your first outings and adventures!
