CH Spindrift Nordic Princess

There are several fine foods on the market and your veterinarian can often be of assistance in helping you select a food that is beneficial to your dog. We currently feed our dogs Opti Plus (Puppy Formula and Adult Formula), a Canadian Premium food. This food is not generally available. Unless you are willing to have it shipped, you will need to select another brand.

Some other foods that we recommend are; Flint River Ranch (they will ship to you at no charge), Nutro Natural puppy and adult diets, and Solid Gold (both can be found at most pet supply houses).

Suggested feeding schedule:

9 Weeks - 12 Weeks

• Early morning feeding of 3/4 Cup moistened with lukewarm water.
• Noon snack of a small dog biscuit
• Evening feeding of 3/4 Cup moistened with lukewarm water

12 Weeks - 16 Weeks

• 3/4 - 1 Cup twice daily (moistened if necessary)
• By this age your English Cocker Spaniel puppy will do well on two meals a day with the snack optional. We feed all of our dogs twice a day throughout their lives.

9 months - throughout live

• 1 cup twice daily.
• Active English Cocker Spaniels, especially males, might require 1/2 - 1 cup more per day

Note that these suggested feeding amounts might vary slightly based upon activity levels and speed of growth of your puppy. You will have to keep a close watch on your English Cocker Spaniel to be sure your puppy is maintaining proper weight.

Obesity is a particular risk for the English Cocker Spaniels as they typically love to eat. Along with proper feeding, exercise is vital to the health of your Cocker Spaniel. If you are using treats as a reward for good behavior, we recommend taking a handful of kibble out of you dogs next meal to use throughout the day.
