The Landseer is recommended to have 4 to 6 cups of high-quality dry dog food, split into at least two meals. Excellent-quality dry food provides balanced nutrition for Landseers. Provide them with fresh, clean water at all times.

Landseers shed moderately. Regular brushing reduces the amount of hair that sheds. Occasional bath will help maintain their coat to be healthy and beautiful.

The Landseer's double coat is generally easy to maintain. Brush them weekly with a rubber grooming mitt or a brush with short, natural bristles. A fine-toothed flea comb helps remove loose or dead hair. Their undercoat may come out in little thuds.

Regular brushing will help keep shedding under control. With regular brushing, they shouldn't need a bath more than every month or two. Ears are an important area to check when you are grooming them, so if you smell an odour or see wax, clean the inner ear with a cotton ball, using a cleanser recommended by your veterinarian.

Your careful weekly assessment will help you recognise potential health problems shortly.

Landseers are strong and agile dogs. They are active that requires moderate exercise. On a daily basis, 45 to 60 minutes of good physical activity will keep them happy and healthy. They enjoy a long walk, free run, or a game in a fenced-in backyard.

Veterinary care is essential to a dog's health and well-being, however, the frequency of treatment and checkups will depend on the dog. Scheduled six-monthly health check visits with your vet are important to ensure they are healthy and happy throughout all life stages.

Routine maintenance for your dog gives you a chance to track your dog's growth and development, discuss any concerns with your vet, and form a key part of preventative care.

They are sweet and affectionate with their family. They tend to be patient with children, making them an ideal friend for them. In fact, they can be a fun playmate for the children. They are also very protective of their family, so strangers should be careful when they are around. However, proper socialization will help them learn how to deal with a new face.

Generally, Landseers are easy to train because they are smart dog breeds. They respond well to training, especially those that involve positive reinforcement and a rewards-based approach. They can be sensitive sometimes, that's why don't use harsh treatment to them.

Landseers do well with other pets. They can aggressive with dogs of same-sex and might react different. However, that can be corrected with proper training. And like most breeds, they need socialization properly at an early age.
