A lively spaniel with a keen interest in activity and training. This profile uses UK Cocker Spaniel information; the American Cocker Spaniel is a distinct breed, so US owners should check which profile applies.
| Size | Medium |
|---|---|
| Adult weight context | 13–14.5 kg (PDSA UK Cocker range) |
| Height context | 38–41 cm |
| Exercise context | PDSA lists at least 1 hour daily for healthy adults; working lines may need more. |
Ranges describe the cited profile. They are not goal weights, growth charts or a veterinary exercise prescription. Age, line, sex, body condition and health can change the picture.
What to record before comparing food
Training, scent games and walks can add many small food rewards to a day. Include those rewards in your feeding notes rather than counting only what goes into the bowl.
Keep a short record with the exact current food name, the amount served, any leftovers, and extras supplied by other members of the household. That gives you something concrete to compare against a new pack’s label.
Nutrition and life stage
Use the food label to identify the life stage and whether it is intended as the main complete diet. The breed name on a bag is not enough to establish suitability. A growing dog should not be treated as a smaller adult in a calculator.
Still growing?
Use the puppy guide to organise questions about growth labelling and adult size. Confirm maturity and feeding amounts with your veterinary team.

Compare the actual labels, declared energy and daily costs. Our catalogue is limited and does not rank foods by breed.

- Write down the exact products and pack sizes, rather than just brand names.
- Check both life-stage statements before comparing the price.
- Use each food’s own portion information. Equal gram portions need not supply equal calories.
- Use the same currency and record delivery charges separately.

Health concerns and screening
The source profile below includes breed-related health information. Use it to prepare questions about relevant screening and the individual dog’s history. Our clinical condition guides remain subject to veterinary review; this page does not diagnose disease or recommend a condition-specific food.

A dog with symptoms, a diagnosed condition, a suspected allergy or a prescribed diet needs individual veterinary advice before a food change. An average breed weight should never be used as an automatic weight-loss target.
