Feeding a English Springer Spaniel for a healthy weight

Springers are active working dogs that gain weight if under-exercised; match calories to their genuinely high activity.

What to feed a English Springer Spaniel

Dogs are facultative carnivores: they thrive on meat-forward diets but can use carbohydrate and plant matter. A complete-and-balanced food (dry, wet, fresh, or properly-formulated raw) meeting AAFCO or FEDIAF standards should make up the vast majority of intake, with treats capped at 10% of daily calories.

Most adult dogs do best on two meals a day. Puppies under four months need three to four smaller meals; large-breed puppies should be fed a large-breed-specific formula to slow bone growth and protect their joints.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I feed my dog per day?

A 10 kg neutered adult dog at a healthy weight needs roughly 500-560 kcal per day โ€” about 150-165 g of standard dry kibble split over two meals. Scale up or down with weight, activity and life stage using the calculator above.

Should I feed my dog once or twice a day?

Twice a day suits most adult dogs and helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. Puppies need three or more meals; some giant breeds prone to bloat also do better with smaller, more frequent meals.
