In terms of personality, Cocker Spaniels are loyal, focused, and enjoy family attention. They are social and curious but not overly active or hyper. They bond easily and are known to train well, getting along with other pets if introduced young.
Appearance and grooming are relatively low-maintenance; they are not heavy shedders. Daily brushing and bathing every 4-5 weeks keep their coat healthy and clean. Routine nail clipping is also important.
For care and feeding, a diet with proper ratios of protein, micronutrients, carbs, and fats is crucial for their semi-active lifestyle. Two meals a day, 12 hours apart, are recommended. Dental care, including brushing teeth at least three times a week, is essential to prevent health issues.
Cocker Spaniels stand 15-17 inches tall, weigh 29-35 pounds, and have an average life expectancy of 12-15 years.
