Royal Canin is focused on the particularities of both the English Cocker – a dog<br />

as happy at home as it is on the hunt – and American Cocker – the smaller of<br />

the 2 Spaniels and a much loved companion.<br />

The challenge has been to develop a food that is specially formulated for<br />

Cocker Spaniels, based on their shared particularities, that covers their<br />

daily nutritional requirements and that constitutes a better response to<br />

their specific sensitivities:<br />

• A common predisposition to otitis, some of which are connected to<br />

skin sensitivity<br />

• A natural tendency to put on weight, which needs to be kept in<br />

check to prevent any detrimental effects on health or<br />

willingness to work<br />

• A great frequency of occurrence of cataracts as the dog<br />

grows older<br />

• A not insignificant risk of dilated cardiomyopathy<br />

While nutrition can never prevent the dog from growing<br />

old or contracting certain diseases, the provision of specific<br />

nutrients in a sufficiently concentrated form helps<br />

support the body against environmental agents and neutralise<br />

the free radicals it itself produces. The Royal Canin Research Centre has<br />

developed Cocker 25* in partnership with breeders and the best experts in<br />

the field. Royal Canin is delighted to present this food to breeders and owners<br />

who share our passion for Cocker Spaniels.<br />
