Top health issues
Breed Health
Clumber Spaniels are generally healthy and gentle dogs, but they may be predisposed to certain health issues that owners should be aware of. One common concern is hip dysplasia, a genetic condition where the hip joint doesn't develop properly, leading to arthritis and mobility issues. Another potential issue is intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), a spinal condition where the discs between the vertebrae degenerate, leading to pain and neurological deficits. Clumber Spaniels may also be prone to ear infections, which can occur due to their long, pendulous ears and tendency to trap moisture and debris. Regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and proper grooming are essential for maintaining the health and well-being of Clumber Spaniels.
