Specialised Bowls for Cocker Spaniels

Cocker Spaniels, with their long floppy ears, require particular attention when it comes to feeding and hydration. One of the best ways to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of their ears and prevent infections is by investing in specialised feeding and water bowls designed specifically for their needs.

Traditional bowls can cause the long ears of Cocker Spaniels to fall into their food or water, leading to messy, wet and dirty ears. This can create a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of ear infections. To address this issue, specialised bowls, commonly known as 'cocker bowls,' are designed with a tapered shape that helps keep the ears out of the bowl.

Cocker bowls feature a narrower mouth than the base. This unique design ensures that the spaniel's ears fall outside the bowl, keeping them clean and dry while eating and drinking. The key benefits of using these bowls include:

1.  Prevention of Ear Infections: By keeping the ears out of food and water, these bowls help prevent the moisture and food particles that can lead to ear infections.

2. Enhanced Cleanliness: Ears stay cleaner and drier, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.

3. Comfortable Eating and Drinking: The design accommodates the spaniel’s unique ear structure, making mealtime more comfortable for your pet.
