A well-bred Cocker Spaniel is a pleasure to own. He is known for a merry, sound temperament.
His flowing coat is silky, flat or wavy, has a sturdy, compact body, and is loving and gentle, and he wants nothing more than to make his family happy.
Compared to other dogs in the Sporting Group, the Cocker is small (20 to 30 pounds), fitting comfortably into an apartment, condo, or a small home.
He is primarily a companion but is easily trained for the conformation show ring, obedience and agility competitions, and field work. He is also an excellent therapy dog.
If you are considering to own a cocker spaniel, or you’ve just become a new cocker spaniel owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.
Check out the twelve realities new cocker spaniel owners must accept on the next page! …and if you already are a cocker spaniel owner, see if you can relate!

I had mine on a Merrick Grain free but it was coating his teeth. I changed over to Purina pro plan-sensitive skin and stomach. It’s not 100% grain free it has some barley way down the list but the food suits his allergies and dry skin

Kathy Moc, ok cool. What store sells it? She has a lot of dandruff also so maybe this will help that too. I so appreciate the suggestions, i am so heartbroken when i see her in so much pain and shaking her head. Thank you all again.

I get mine at pet supply plus but Purina is a popular brand so I’d say pets art probably has it too

Loved all 4 to bits and wouldn’t change them for anything. Can be stubborn and frustrating at times, but very loyal and lovable.

Taste of the Wild, grain free, is often recommended by vets. The best foods are NOT carried in grocery stores but easily purchased. Google Taste of the Wild for more info.
