Dog Food for English Springer Spaniels
The English Springer Spaniel was bred in England to "spring" game birds from cover for hunters, and it still has the stamina and enthusiasm of a field dog. At home, Springers are affectionate, cheerful, and eager to please. They usually weigh 40 to 50 lb and have a medium-length coat with feathering on the ears, chest, legs, and belly that needs regular brushing.
Springer owners want a food that keeps up with an energetic dog and keeps that feathered coat looking its best.

How much to feed an English Springer Spaniel
These are starting points for an average adult with a normal activity level. Hunting and very active Springers may need 10 to 20% more. Adjust to keep your dog lean.
| Adult weight | Cups per day | A 28 lb bag lasts about |
|---|---|---|
| 40 lb | 2½ | 7 weeks |
| 45 lb | 2¾ | 6 weeks |
| 50 lb | 3 | 5½ weeks |
Puppies need more food per pound than adults, so split their daily amount into three or four meals. Your vet can help you fine-tune portions as your puppy grows.
