What size Dog Pod does a Miniature Dachshund need?Updated 5 days ago

For Miniature Dachshunds, the Original size Travel Dog Pod is the perfect fit — cosy, safe, and just the right size for travel or lounging at home.

In fact, many of our customers with two minis comfortably use one Original Pod for both dogs to snuggle up together.

Do they really need the XL?

Not usually — but every dachshund is different (and let’s be honest, most of them expect the royal treatment!).

We recently had a customer who ordered the XL Dog Pod just for her single mini dachshund, purely because she wanted her pup to have the ultimate travel throne. And honestly? We get it.

If you’ve got a particularly long mini, or just want to spoil them with more space, the XL is an optional upgrade — but not a necessity for most.

Why dachshunds love the Pod

• The Pod’s structured walls give them a secure den-like feel

• The soft base supports their long body comfortably

• It sits high enough to offer a great window view — and we know how nosey dachshunds can be

Travel & Home Approved

Whether you’re off on a road trip or just want a plush bed for the living room, the Original Pod works beautifully for minis.

• Fits one or two miniature dachshunds

• Easy to move between car and home

• Stays secure on a single seat

Final recommendation

For most miniature dachshunds (even pairs), the Original size Pod is ideal.

If you’ve got a diva on your hands or just want to go all out, the XL is a fun luxury — but absolutely not required.
