Tips on Grooming Your Russian Spaniel

    Low Maintenance: Infrequent grooming is required to maintain upkeep. No trimming or stripping needed.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Russian Spaniel Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important part of general pet care. Brushing assists to keep your Russian Spaniel dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shining coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore lessen the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Russian Spaniel dog are tasks that help to reinforce the good connection bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Russian Spaniel

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

    Dogs with short coats commonly require 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 quickly.

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

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should observe 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.
