Yay! Welcome home Dewey! I just LOVE Dachshund mixes! Of course, I'm biased... My Priya thinks he's one hot tamale!

I love his coloring and his coat looks so shiny! I feed Priya Royal Canin Mini and her black coat is very lusterous.

As far as the vet visit, questions to ask and meds, etc...the advice given so far is good.

Priya is pretty much an indoor dog, but I have her on Advantage. My vet said I didn't need to put her on heartworm, because it's not prevalent here unless I go to the mountains...which I haven't done yet...but Interceptor and Heartguard are both good heartworm preventatives.

Frontline and Advantage both treat fleas, but if you want tick treatment as well, go with Advantix - it's more expensive, but treats fleas, ticks and mosquitos!

Good luck with your new doggie family member and let us know how he adjusts to his kitty siblings!

**hugs**
