Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. At what age should I switch my Cocker Spaniel from puppy to adult food?Royal Canin Cocker Puppy is designed for the specific growth phase of 2 months to 12 months. Once your puppy reaches 1 year (12 months), their nutritional needs change, and you should transition them to Royal Canin Cocker Adult to maintain their health and weight into maturity.
2. Why does this food have a special crescent shape?The crescent-shaped kibble is tailor-made for the Cocker Spaniel’s muzzle. Because Cockers can sometimes eat too quickly, the size and texture of this kibble encourage them to chew thoroughly rather than gulping. This aids in dental hygiene and supports better digestion.
3. Does this food help with my puppy's sensitive skin and coat?Yes. Cocker Spaniels are prone to skin sensitivities and ear issues. This formula is enriched with EPA & DHA (Omega-3 fatty acids), Vitamin A, and Borage Oil. These specific nutrients strengthen the skin barrier and nourish their signature long, silky coat from the inside out.
4. How much should I feed my Cocker Spaniel puppy daily?Feeding amounts depend on your puppy's current age and their expected adult weight (typically between 10kg and 16kg).
   1. A 4-month-old puppy expected to weigh 12kg as an adult needs approximately 201g (about 2 + 2/8 cups) per day.
   2. Always refer to the feeding table on the back of the bag for precise measurements as your puppy grows.
5. Can this food help with my puppy's digestive issues?Absolutely. Royal Canin uses L.I.P. (Low Indigestible Proteins), which are highly digestible proteins that ensure maximum nutrient absorption. Combined with prebiotics (FOS), this formula promotes a healthy balance of intestinal flora and helps produce smaller, firmer stools.
6. Is this formula suitable for both English and American Cocker Spaniels?Yes. While the breeds differ slightly in size and appearance, both share similar requirements for skin protection, weight management, and cardiac health support during their growth phase. This formula is optimized for the Cocker Spaniel "type."

Why the Transition Matters

As your Cocker Spaniel matures, their metabolism slows down, and they become more prone to weight gain. The Adult formula reduces the fat content while adding nutrients like Taurine to support the heart—a vital consideration for this breed as they age.

Transition Tip for Owners

When your puppy reaches 12 months, don't switch foods overnight! Mix the two formulas over a 7-day period to avoid digestive upset:

• Days 1–2: 75% Puppy, 25% Adult
• Days 3–4: 50% Puppy, 50% Adult
• Days 5–6: 25% Puppy, 75% Adult
• Day 7: 100% Adult
