The Sweet and Charming Cocker Spaniel: What Makes Them Furbulous Dogs

With long silky coats, big floppy ears, and kind faces, Cocker Spaniels are irresistibly adorable pooches. And there’s so much more to them than their good looks. These dogs make exceptional companions. They’re loyal, relaxed, cuddly, and full of brains — the dream combo!

Because Cocker Spaniels are pedigrees, they do come with some breed-specific health issues — but don’t worry, because they’re usually healthy and hardy pups.

As a Cocker Spaniel parent, it’s wise to get to know the potential health mishaps that might arise, just so you’re extra prepared in case of an emergency. Things to look out for include:

  • Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA)
  • Hip dysplasia
  • Skin problems
  • Lymphoma
  • Ear infections



    • Make sure you’re ready for whatever health problems your pooch develops with our breed-specific Cocker Spaniel dog and puppy insurance. Check out our policy options today.

    Why Your Cocker Spaniel Needs Breed-Specific Pet Insurance

    Tailored insurance that covers a bunch of common health conditions unique to Cocker Spaniels.

    Provides up to 80% coverage, making vet bills much more manageable.

    Supports early intervention and gives your pooch access to specialist treatment when they need it most.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    What Level of Cover Is Best for a Cocker Spaniel?

    That's all down to your Cocker Spaniel's health needs and your preferences as a pet parent. If your pooch is healthy and rarely visits the vet, don't waste your money on comprehensive coverage — go for our basic Accidental Plan instead.

    If your pooch is generally in good health but sometimes needs to see a vet, or if you want to play it safe with balanced coverage, our Classic Plan will give you the best of both worlds for excellent value. And, if you've got a high-risk Cocker Spaniel, like a senior pup, play it safe with our complete Deluxe Plan.

    How Soon Can My Cocker Spaniel Get Covered at PetsOnMe?

    Like most pet insurance companies, we've got a waiting period before coverage kicks in. For our Classic and Deluxe Plans, you'll need to wait between 21 and 180 days before you can claim any vet bills. But if you go for our Accidental Plan, you get instant coverage from day one.

    Also, if you can show us that you've held a policy with no interruptions in cover for a year or more with another insurer, we'll waive our waiting period and get you covered pronto.

    What's the Right Age to Insure My Cocker Spaniel?

    The earlier the better. The sooner you get your Cocker Spaniel covered, the less pre-existing conditions they'll have, so you can claim much more. You can get your pup covered as soon as they hit six weeks at PetsOnMe.

    If your pooch is younger than one year, we'll treat you to two whole months of free coverage. And, if they're a year or older, you get to enjoy one full month free.

    Do Cocker Spaniels Need a Lot of Vet Care?

    Not really, just some basic routine care, like deworming, vaccinations, tick and flea prevention, and so on. You'll also need to regularly groom your Cocker Spaniel to keep their coat luscious and prevent skin conditions.

    What Does Cocker Spaniel Dog Breed Insurance Cover?

    We've got three options that give you different levels of cover. Our Accidental Plan is the most basic option, covering accidental injury treatment only. Our Classic Plan covers accidents and illness. And our Deluxe Plan covers the whole lot, including hospitalisation and even select dental care.
