Recommended food
Super-premium kibble with high meat content (≥40%), grain-free or whole grain. Reference brands: Orijen, Acana, Taste of the Wild, Eukanuba.
Budget alternative
On a tight budget, Advance, Purina Pro Plan or Nutro Wholesome offer mid-high quality at reasonable prices. Avoid brands with grains as first ingredient.
Nutrition
A Cocker Spaniel needs high-quality nutrition tailored to medium breeds with moderate to high energy levels. On average, a healthy adult requires about 200-250 grams of premium kibble daily, ideally split into two meals. However, be extremely careful: Cockers are 'professional beggars' and highly prone to obesity. Every extra treat counts. Since they are prone to skin issues and ear infections, diets rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are highly recommended to support their skin barrier. Avoid free-feeding; use scales to ensure you aren't over-delivering calories.
