Clumber Spaniel Diet & Feeding Guide

Back to Clumber Spaniel Overview

Nutrition is a cornerstone of Clumber Spaniel health. An adult Clumber Spaniel weighing 25–39kg typically requires 1150–1450 kcal of high-quality food per day, split across two meals to support consistent energy levels and healthy digestion. Clumber Spaniels have relatively modest activity requirements, which means overfeeding is a real risk; consistent portion control and low-calorie treats are advised. Feeding from an elevated bowl and avoiding vigorous exercise directly after meals can help reduce the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus (bloat), which large breeds are predisposed to. Always adjust portions based on your dog's individual weight, life stage, and activity level, and consult your vet before making significant dietary changes.
