Nutrition is a cornerstone of American Water Spaniel health. An adult American Water Spaniel weighing 11–20kg typically requires 900–1100 kcal of high-quality food per day, split across two meals to support consistent energy levels and healthy digestion. Their high energy output means American Water Spaniels need a calorie-dense diet — look for a working- or active-dog formula with at least 25% protein content. Always adjust portions based on your dog's individual weight, life stage, and activity level, and consult your vet before making significant dietary changes.
Portion sizes are approximate guidelines for a medium-breed dog. Adjust based on your dog's individual weight, age, and activity level. Always consult your vet.
