Small paws, big fun: Puro at the Kempen Dachshund Day

Puro dog bar

Around 300+ dachshunds, proud owners and plenty to talk about: on Sunday 6 September 2026, the first Kempische Teckeldag took place in Arendonk. A day full of activities, new encounters and a spotlight on these little dogs with their big personalities. Puro was there and looks back on a particularly enjoyable day.

You can never stop talking about dachshunds

At our stand, we spoke to lots of dachshund enthusiasts. We chatted about their dogs’ personalities, their funny habits and, of course, food. Because whilst one dachshund will polish off its bowl without a second thought, another is far harder to persuade.

We also met owners who have been feeding their dogs Puro for years. They spoke enthusiastically about how well their dachshunds are doing on it. Other visitors, on the other hand, recognised the struggle to find the right food for their dog. This proved to be quite a puzzle at times, particularly with sensitive dachshunds.

Puro Sensitive was mentioned regularly in this context. As one visitor put it:

“At last, a kibble that suits him well.”

Those are the stories that stick in our minds. After all, behind every food bowl there’s a dog with its own preferences and needs. And an owner who wants nothing more than a happy dachshund that’s comfortable in its own skin.

What food is best for your dachshund?

From an adventurous puppy to a grown-up walking companion or a senior dog who likes to stay in his bed a little longer: every dachshund is different. The right food depends, amongst other things, on his age, activity level and needs.

Sjef, the wire-haired dachshund, has already found his favourite: Puro Select – Meat Plus. These extruded kibbles with chicken and beef are intended for adult dogs with a normal activity level and contain no added flavourings or colourings.

Fancy hearing his story? Meet Sjef, the wire-haired dachshund.
