Tips on Grooming Your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Moderate Maintenance: A comb and soft slicker brush should help to keep this breed’s long coat in top shape. An occasional bath also helps to keep it mat- and tangle-free. Their nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to avoid overgrowth and cracking. Their long pendulous ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris which can result in an infection. Teeth should be brushed regularly.

Why Brush or Groom Your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Dog?

Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important part of general pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

Brushing also assists to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a gleaming coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore minimize the frequency of bathing.

Brushing and grooming of your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog are tasks that help to strengthen the positive relationship bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.



How Often to Groom Your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely on each personal dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

Dogs with short coats normally require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

Some very short-haired dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

Pet dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
