Special Nutritional Needs For The Portuguese Water Dog
By: Jane R. Bicks, D.V.M.


Though the Portuguese Water Dog has the water
resistant thick coat, oily skin, and hanging
ears of a spaniel, it's considered a working dog
by the AKC.


It's nutritional needs are similar to those of Irish
and American spaniels.


Some Portuguese Water Dogs have a genetic disease
called Copper Storage Disease and require a low copper diet.
