Care
Brushing your English Toy Spaniel’s long, silky coat at least twice a week will prevent painful mats and tangles. Regular baths and trimming around the face and paws will also help keep this breed looking its best.
The English Toy Spaniel’s long ears may make them more susceptible to ear infections. For this reason, check and clean your pup’s ears regularly to prevent infections from developing.
Toy breeds are more likely to have dental issues due to their small mouths and crowded teeth. Regular dental care, including at-home teeth brushing, is essential for their overall long-term health. Because of their increased risk of dental disease, English Toy Spaniels may require more frequent professional cleanings beginning at an earlier age.
English Toy Spaniels have little stomachs that don’t allow them to eat big meals. So, it’s best to break their food up into several small meals throughout the day.
