Common Mistakes 🐶✂️
Grooming is essential for your dog’s health, but some common mistakes can do more harm than good. Here are a few things to avoid:
🚫 Skipping Regular Brushing –
Waiting too long between brushes leads to matting.
🚫 Not Brushing Properly -
To brush effectively, you need to ensure you are getting down to the skin and follow up with a firm mental comb to not leave any tangles behind.
🚫 Using the Wrong Brush –
Different coat types need different tools. Choosing the right one makes all the difference!
🚫 Not Drying or Brushing after Being Wet -
Causes any tangles in the coat to become tighter causing matting, especially on feet!
🚫 Neglecting Nail Trims –
Long nails cause discomfort, posture issues, and even joint pain. Regular trims keep paws healthy.
🚫 Forgetting Ear & Teeth Care –
Dirty ears can lead to infections, and skipping dental care can cause serious health problems.

Not all spaniels enjoy the brush so it's our job, groomers and owners, to make this as comfortable as we can for them. With regularly brushing, it prevents any knots or tangles which keeps brushing pain free! Give your pup lots of reassurance, treats for encouragement and breaks.
You don't have to brush your whole dog in one sitting. Brushing one leg a day is still better than no brushing.
