The food fed every day should contain about 500 grams of meat. And add equal amounts of biscuits and dry ingredients. The meat should be cooked and chopped first, then mixed with appropriate amount of water and cooked dry ingredients before feeding.

Meat must be fresh and hygienic, and tableware such as sinks and basins must be washed clean after each meal. Leftover food from each meal should be thrown away in time and should not be fed again to prevent illness caused by overweight. Feeding should be done at a fixed time and at a fixed point, and should be completed within 15-25 minutes. If the feeding time exceeds the specified time, the food trough should be removed to allow it to develop a good habit of feeding at a fixed point and at a fixed time. Clean drinking water should be provided 1-2 times a day.

The English Setter is active and active. The owner not only needs to take it out for a walk every day, or run and jump in the yard, but also needs it to achieve a certain amount of exercise. This dog is a long-haired lop-eared dog, so its coat must be combed every day and stains and dust on the coat must be wiped away. And bathe it regularly. In seasons with high temperatures, increase the frequency of bathing. In cold weather, dry the hair immediately after bathing to prevent catching a cold.

When taking a bath, be careful not to pour bath water into your ears. If the external auditory canal becomes wet, wipe it dry immediately with a cotton ball.

Usually remove ear wax, tartar and eye feces every 3-5 days, and wash the eyes with 2% boric acid water to prevent ophthalmia. Also trim paws regularly.

Puppies should be trained and disciplined from an early age so that they can develop the habit of not biting door curtains, sofas, and clothes at home, defecating at designated spots, and obeying the owner's orders and instructions.

During the breeding process, you should always pay attention to whether the dog's mental state and behavior are normal, whether there is a loss of appetite, whether there are changes in the shape of the stool, whether the nose pads are kept moist, whether the temperature is normal, etc., in order to understand the dog's health. If you are found to be sick, you should receive timely treatment.
