A guide for a healthy adult. Puppies, older dogs and flat-faced breeds in the heat need less.
Good to know
- Born lap dogs: bred as companions for English nobility, they are happiest close to their people and are content with modest daily walks and play.
- Calm and quiet: generally gentle and mellow indoors, they suit quieter homes and can be reserved with strangers until they warm up.
- Silky coat care: the long, silky coat with feathering on ears, legs and feet needs brushing a few times a week to keep tangles away.
- Short-nosed comfort: with their flat faces they handle heat poorly, so keep play gentle and walks short on hot, humid days.
Getting out with a English Toy Spaniel
They're happy with shorter, easy walks. Keep outings gentle in the heat.
