Irish Setter should have at least a daily amount of 2 to 3 cups of high-quality dry food, which should be split into two meals. Keep your Irish Setter in good shape by measuring his food rather than leaving food out all the time.
The quality of dog food given to them is also essential in ensuring the dogs receive the nutrients they need. Safe and clean water should always be made available for them all throughout the day.
Irish Setters shed moderately year-round and a lot during spring and autumn when their thick undercoat sheds more extensively. Brushing them once a week with a rubber grooming mitt or tool or a de-shedding glove will help remove dead hair and maintain its appearance. Increase the brushing routine to once a day when their shedding picks up in these seasons.
This Irish Setter has a medium-length coat on the body and a short, fine coat on the head and front legs, with long, silky feathering on the ears, backs of the legs, stomach, belly, and tail. Brushing and combing the coat twice to three times a week is recommended to avoid or eliminate mats and tangles.
A bath every two to four weeks is also advised. Check their lips, ears, nose, throat, eyes, and feet for sores, rashes, or symptoms of illness such as redness, tenderness, or inflammation. Ears should have a pleasant odour and be free of wax or gunk, and eyes should be clean and free of redness or discharge.
Irish Setters are sporting breeds; that is why they need plenty of daily exercises. These can come in the form of long daily walks and play sessions with their owners. Owners should also give the breed exercises by participating in canine sports such as obedience, tracking, agility, rally, and other activities that both dog and owner can enjoy.
Regular visits to their vet will ensure their health and well-being. Schedule at least twice a year veterinary care or as recommended depending on your dog's state.
In these visits, your vet will complete a physical examination, take your dog's temperature and check his heartbeat, among other things.
Discuss with your vet any concerns you think needs immediate attention as it is a key part of preventative care.
The Irish Setter is amiable and will play with children for hours. They are good friends for active older children, but their high energy may be too much for toddlers.
Always teach children how to approach dogs. Supervise their interactions to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party. Teach children never to approach any dog while eating or never to try to take the food away from the dog. Never let children alone with dogs, unsupervised.
The Irish Setter has high-energy, very loving, and eager to please. Because of their high-level energy, they will appreciate having to do something to stimulate their mind.
Training methods should be consistent but fun and interesting to avoid making them bored. Owners should practice positive, reward-based training methods and avoid heavy-handed or harsh corrections. Training should start as early as possible.
Irish Setters is good in canine sports; and because their sensitive nature makes them a natural as therapy and assistance dogs.
Irish Setters can get along with other dogs and cats in the household, primarily if they grow up with them, but they might see pet birds as prey. Slowly introduce new pets by crating them while the Irish Setter is on a leash. In this manner, the Setter can sniff the new pet through the crate's bars and be familiar with them.
