Dachshunds and back stiffness — that's a combination worth taking seriously early. Are you seeing general rear-end stiffness, or is there something more specific, like reluctance to jump or a slightly hunched posture?
He's reluctant to jump onto the sofa and sometimes walks a bit stiffly after his lunchtime nap. No pain signals as far as I can tell. The vet mentioned IVDD risk at his last check-up.

The nap stiffness and jump reluctance are worth addressing now rather than waiting. For a Dachshund with IVDD on the radar, I'd recommend Antinol Rapid. It's an PCSO-524 extract — a highly concentrated marine lipid complex with some of the strongest anti-inflammatory evidence of any supplement on the market. Crucially for a Dachshund, it works on spinal disc inflammation as well as peripheral joint inflammation. It's not a replacement for weight management and ramp training, but as a supplement layer it's the one with the most relevant mechanism for this breed. Two capsules daily for the first four weeks, then one to maintain.
