Raise an American cocker spaniel

In the diet of the American cocker spaniel, the supply of meat should be more than that of other breeds, generally 250-350 grams of meat per day, plus the same amount of dry material and biscuits, and an appropriate amount of water.

In the management work, we should pay attention to its activity, this is because it is originally a kind of bird hound living in the wild. The owner of this dog had better take him out for a walk 2-3 times a day, usually take him out for a walk after getting up in the morning, and take him out for a walk in the evening or afternoon. If you keep it at home for a long time and don't give it enough activity, it will be restless and even look dull and ill.

Brush its coat with a brush (brown brush) or comb every day. This kind of dog's chest, abdomen and legs all have a long and dense coat, which is often dragged on the ground. If it is not combed regularly, it will be covered with dust and dirt, or even become agglomerated, which will not only affect its appearance, but will also be attacked by germs and make it sick. In addition to combing it regularly, it should also be bathed once in a while.

Baths can be washed or dry-cleaned. Dry cleaning practice is: first spray talcum powder or conditioner, and then gently brush it from the root to the tip of the hair with a comb, so that it can not only keep its coat soft and fluffy, but also prevent the breeding of lice in the hair. make it healthy and lively.

Every once in a while, we should also do the work of removing tartar and earwax for it, as well as washing its eyes with light salt water to prevent diseases caused by unclean facial features. Usually should also often pay attention to it in eating, sleep, walking and other activities are abnormal, whether the mental state is abnormal, if found sick, should be treated in time.

The training of this dog is also very important, do not let it develop naturally, otherwise, it is easy to develop the bad habit of willfulness and stubbornness.
