Best Dog Food for Springer Spaniels — Nutrition That Matches the Breed
Springer Spaniels are energetic sporting dogs with ear and coat needs. Omega-rich, high-protein freeze-dried raw fuels their drive while supporting coat, skin, and ears.
What Springer Spaniels need most from their food
The Springer Spaniel's sporting energy and spaniel coat shape their nutritional needs:
Energy & Stamina
An athletic sporting breed needing bioavailable protein for sustained activity.
Ear Health
Long, feathered ears prone to infection, often diet-linked. A clean diet reduces triggers.
Coat & Skin Health
The feathered spaniel coat depends on protein and omega-3s. Salmon oil supports coat and skin.
Joint Health
An anti-inflammatory dietary foundation — real omega-3s, not processed oils — supports long-term joint and mobility health.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for Springer SpanielsSpringer Spaniels
English Springer Spaniels are energetic, athletic sporting dogs that need real fuel for their activity — high-quality, bioavailable protein that freeze-dried raw delivers in its most usable form. The breed's working drive is supported far better by whole-food protein than by starch-heavy kibble.
Like other spaniels, Springers have long, feathered ears prone to infection (often diet-linked) and a feathered coat that depends on dietary protein and omega-3s. Turkey + Salmon addresses coat, skin, ear, and joint health together while fueling activity, and the clean profile removes common allergen triggers. Loyal Saints provides whole-food nutrition with no synthetic premix.

Loyal Saints was built because of one dog's transformation. King — Kristina Voltin's dog — developed chronic digestive issues and food allergies eating processed food. She formulated a human-grade, whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet and King's health transformed. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Springer Spaniels owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what's really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

Springer ear and coat health are diet-influenced. Removing common allergens and adding omega-3s supports the coat and reduces the inflammatory triggers behind ear infections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best dog food for a Springer Spaniel?
Turkey + Salmon is the top pick — the omega-3s support the feathered coat, skin, ear health, and joints, while providing the protein an active sporting breed needs. For very high-energy or working Springers, Beef offers higher protein density.
Why does my Springer get ear infections?
Long, feathered, hair-filled ears trap moisture, and food sensitivities are a common contributing factor. Removing dietary triggers (wheat, corn, soy, additives) reduces the inflammatory response. Combined with routine ear cleaning and drying ears after swimming, a clean diet helps reduce recurrence.
How much should I feed my Springer Spaniel?
English Springer Spaniels typically weigh 40–50 lbs and, given their activity, need roughly 1¼–1¾ cups of rehydrated Loyal Saints daily, split into two meals. Working dogs may need more — monitor body condition.
Does freeze-dried raw support an active Springer's energy?
Yes. The high protein bioavailability means more fuel is absorbed and used, supporting the breed's sporting energy and lean muscle. Many owners report better-sustained energy after switching from kibble, without the starch-driven blood-sugar spikes.
