Special Nutritional Needs For The Sussex Spaniel
By: Jane R. Bicks, D.V.M.



The Sussex Spaniel is a short, floppy eared dog,
with several problems.


These include hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy,
cataracts, and skin disease.


While we can't fight genetics, we can try to avoid some of
these problems by adding antioxidants to a high quality
protein and fat diet. You may use oat or wheat grass or alfalfa
in their puppy food.

Experience for your Sussex Spaniel here



Keeping your dog thin will help ensure proper bone and
muscle growth.


Cleaning the eyes and ears daily should be part of your
routine.


When you simply don't have the energy to use up his,
chamomile tea with warm milk and a biscuit, or
Homeopathic Remedy tablets are useful.


Brewer's yeast and garlic treats will supply the B vitamins
to help calm, and provide nutrients for skin and coat,
and to help build up resistance to ear infections.
