If you supply the kennel with your dachshund�s own personal gear, such as food and water bowls, food itself, toys or bedding, it will serve a dual purpose. It will lower the risk of the dachshund getting sick and it will also help the dachshund to be more comfortable and stay closer to his daily routine.
