🍖Feeding a English Springer Spaniel: portions, kibble and budget
English Springer Spaniel : For an adult of 18 to 25 kg, allow around 250 to 350 g of kibble per day depending on activity level. Dogs that work in the field several days a week benefit from a higher-fat ration during the season.
In short: A medium dog of 18 to 25 kg with a medium-length feathered coat, very high energy and a passion for water and cover. An athletic, enthusiastic flushing spaniel whose stamina surprises first-time owners. Its pull towards water is powerful even in cold weather, and its feathering collects grass seeds: a microfibre towel, a fine comb and ear checks after every outing are unavoidable.
The right daily ration for a English Springer Spaniel
An adult English Springer Spaniel of 18 to 25 kg eats 160 to 270 g of complete kibble a day, over two meals — a figure to adjust for age, neutering and actual exercise. This is an athlete: during hard-working periods its needs can climb 20 to 30% above maintenance. The reference is the weight curve: you should feel the ribs without seeing them.
Matching the food to the breed
For a 18 to 25 kg English Springer Spaniel, no exotic range needed: a good bag shows in its ingredient list — named animal proteins in first position — not in its packaging promises. Treats count towards the ration: past 10% of daily intake, the complete food is no longer balanced.
