Caring for a Irish Setter

Health

Prone to hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy. As a deep-chested breed, Irish Setters also carry meaningful bloat risk, and hypothyroidism can occur.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's genuinely high activity level, with meals split to help reduce bloat risk.

Grooming

The long, silky red coat needs frequent brushing to prevent matting.

Training

Needs long daily walks and off-leash running space; positive, engaging training suits this energetic, fun-loving breed well.

About the breed

A striking mahogany-red gundog bred to hunt game birds by scent, all modern show-line Irish Setters tracing back to a single 19th-century dog.

Active and affectionate, Irish Setters are happiest outdoors, tireless once they catch a scent, and genuinely kind-natured at home.
