What each stage means for a English Springer Spaniel

  • Young adult (1–3): still learning. Keep training consistent and set the healthy weight now; for a English Springer Spaniel that is usually within 40–50 lb.
  • Mature adult (3–9): yearly checkups, dental care and steady exercise. Watch the waistline as activity drops.
  • Senior (10+): many vets suggest checkups every six months, plus attention to joints, teeth and weight changes.

How much a English Springer Spaniel eats

A spayed or neutered adult around 45 lb needs roughly 1,080 calories a day, about 2.8 cups of a typical 380-calorie-per-cup dry food. See the full feeding guide for a 45 lb dog.
