Springer Spaniel HealthSpringer Spaniel health should be at the forefront of any owner's mind. As with any pedigree dog, Spaniels do have health issues that they are prone to, and owners should be aware of what they need to do to keep their Spaniels in the peak of health.
VetsAlways ensure that your Spaniel is registered with a local vet. Ask around among friends and family to find out which vet they use, as a good vet is essential to maintaining your Springer Spaniel health.
Find a vet that you feel you can trust and can visit on a regular basis as you should ideally ensure your Springer receives check ups twice a year; of course puppies and older dogs should be seen on a more frequent basis. Also ensure that your Spaniel is up to date on all their immunizations to protect them from harmful diseases they can pick up. You should also ensure that your dog is regularly wormed, especially if there are kids in the house. I tend to give George a clove of garlic once a month and this is very effective at keeping the worms, and any potential fleas, at bay.
