Cocker Spaniel Health Guide

Cocker Spaniel is the beloved family dog in the United States for decades. Lifespan: 10-14 years. Temperament: gentle, smart, happy.

Cocker Spaniels' floppy ears trap moisture and create a perfect environment for ear infections. Weekly ear checks are essential, especially during Indian monsoon season.

Chronic ear disease management costs $500-$2,000 annually.
