Ideal Weights for Cockers

It is recommended that an adult American Cocker spaniel male should weigh somewhere between 28.6 - 35.2 lbs, and an adult Cocker female should be slightly lighter at between 26.4 - 33 lbs.

According to the American Kennel Club, the most desirable weights for an English Cocker Spaniel male are between 27.9 - 34 lbs and between 26 - 31.9 lbs for females.

Diet and exercise are the cornerstones to maintaining a dog's healthy weight.  Make sure treats account for no more than 10% of your dog's diet and less if they need to lose weight.  Also try to regularly exercise your dog at least 1-2 hours a day.  Please always consult with your vet before making any changes to your dog's diet or exercise regimen.
