How to keep your dog looking its best!
English Springer Spaniels are a fairly easy breed to maintain depending on the coat type. A field-type Springer requires a regular brushing with a stiff brush, along with baths when necessary. The show or “bench” type requires some more work and attention. Since they are bred to have longer coats, it can mat if not brushed often. Along with regular overall baths and brushing, special care must be given to their feet, which needs to be trimmed. The ears should also be checked regularly for signs of infection and cleaned. This breed sheds constantly and year round. A weekly brushing along with a professional grooming every three months is enough for this breed.
Below are some tips to help regular maintain your dog’s health and well-being:
- In coordination with your Veterinarian, keep a regular deworming and vaccination schedule.
- Regular teeth brushing with toothpaste and chews will help to control tartar and prevent
gum disease.
- Ears must be regularly checked and cleaned using approved ear cleansers to prevent a buildup of debris. The hair underneath of the earflap must also be kept short to allow for optimal air flow and circulation around the opening of the ear canal.
- Maintain a good brushing and grooming schedule to ensure that the skin and coat stay
healthy. Trimming or clipping should be performed regularly to avoid the coat matting.
- A regular diet should be in place depending on your individual dog’s needs, while also allowing your dog access to clean water at all times.
- English springer spaniels should have a regular exercise program, depending on the age
and health of your dog. Correct body weight along with adequate mental exercises will help to keep your dog happy and healthy.
English Springer Spaniels come from a background of hunting and regular activity so obedience lessons and long walk are recommended for an indoor pet. A yard for this dog to play in is ideal but it is best suited to live indoors and is a great family pet.
