How often should I feed my English Springer Spaniel puppy?

3 meals per day from 8–16 weeks, then 2 meals per day from approximately 4 months onward. Twice-daily feeding suits most Springers through adulthood and makes portion control straightforward.

When can I start running or doing agility with my Springer puppy?

Sustained high-impact exercise should wait until skeletal maturity at around 12–14 months. Before then, use the 5-minutes-per-month-of-age guideline for structured exercise sessions, and rely on free play and mental activities for additional stimulation. Discuss specific field or agility training timelines with your vet.

How do I clean my Springer puppy's ears?

Use a veterinarian-recommended ear cleaner applied to a cotton ball or the ear canal, then gently massage the base of the ear and wipe away loosened debris. Never insert a cotton swab deep into the ear canal. Establish this routine from puppyhood to keep your Springer comfortable with the process and to maintain ear health throughout its life.
