Day to Day

The day to day requirements of an English Setter are quite high. Ideally they need a good daily brushing and to be given the opportunity to run off the lead, or at the very least given several long walks a day.

Food
English Setters should be given several meals of high quality food a day. While you should feed your English Setter only the food manufacturer’s daily recommended amount, because they tend to suffer from bloat it is important that this is given to them in several meals spread throughout the day as opposed to one large meal.

Grooming
A daily brush, although not absolutely essential, is certainly ideal for an English Setter. For more information on English Setter grooming, see our recommended grooming information here: English Setter Grooming.

Exercise
