What are the most common health problems for Springer Spaniels?
Springer Spaniels are generally healthy dogs. But as with all breeds, they’re prone to certain health issues.
-
Hip or elbow dysplasia
This is a genetic condition where the hip or elbow joint doesn't develop properly. This can lead to arthritis, and can be painful. Signs of joint conditions such as these include stiffness - particularly after lying down - and reluctance to use stairs or exercise.
-
Ear infections
While the Springer’s long, floppy ears are delightful, they can cause problems. For instance, Springer Spaniels are prone to ear infections, with parasites or irritants getting into the ear canal. This can lead to inflammation called otitis. Regular ear cleaning and grooming can help prevent this.
Health tips for your Springer Spaniel
Springer Spaniel exercise
Springers are a very active breed, and lead at least two hours of exercise a day - ideally over two or more walks. Springer Spaniels are best suited to life in the country, or at least have a large garden to run around and play in.
Springer Spaniel grooming
Springers have silky coats, and need regular grooming - about two or three times a week. This helps their coat to look healthy, avoiding tangling and matting. But they do love to get dirty. Hunting in the undergrowth is one of their favourite pastimes, so be prepared for lots of bathing and brushing afterwards!
Springer Spaniel training
Springer Spaniels are intelligent and eager to please. This is a good combination when it comes to training, meaning Springers are receptive and learn quickly. Having high energy levels means they can become boisterous unless you channel it into training and exercise from a young age. Good recall is important too, as the hunting instinct in a Springer is strong!
Springer Spaniel feeding
It’s important to give your Springer Spaniel a balanced diet, keeping filler to a minimum. A raw food diet is a good bet, as this will give them consistent energy throughout the day, and there will be no processed food. But their exact diet will be down to their individual needs. It’s best to keep them from getting overweight though, as this increases the risk of conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia.
