Caring for an English Cocker Spaniel
- Maintenance: It is recommended to brush this coat a couple of times a week and bathe every 14 days.
Brushing: You need to regularly brush this coat due to it's length making it prone to tangling and knotting. Always use products and tools that will not damage the coat and skin of your Spaniel.
Haircut: This breed is stripped along its back, tail, face and throat - in pet grooming this same appearance is achieved with clippers. You then leave the ears, legs, chest and undercarriage long and trimmed with scissors
Special Attention: Due to the length of the coat it is prone to tangling, make sure to keep it well moisturised to prevent dryness which leads to breakage and tangling.
Recommended Grooming Appointments: It is important to visit the grooming salon every 6 to 8 weeks for a bath, brush and trim to avoid accumulation of knots and tangles, but to bathe every 15 days to maintain the coat at home.
