Cocker Spaniel
Service Description
Feathers/Tidy Groom: This type of groom focuses on tidying up the longer, finer hair on the dog's legs, belly, ears, and sometimes around the tail – areas referred to as "feathers." Spaniels often have long, flowing feathering that can look a bit unruly if not maintained. A feathers tidy involves trimming this hair to keep it neat, but it's more about giving the dog a cleaner, well-groomed appearance rather than shortening the coat drastically. It doesn’t involve clipping the whole coat—just the areas where the feathering has grown a bit too long or straggly. Clipping: Clipping involves using clippers to cut the coat short. The coat will be cut evenly, to a specific length, leaving some length on the feathering, ears and tail. It’s quicker & cheaper than handstripping and is a good option for pets who aren’t being shown. Handstripping: Handstripping is a more traditional method. This process involves manually pulling out the dead hair from the coat using fingers or a stripping knife, rather than cutting it with clippers. Handstripping maintains the texture and quality of the coat, keeping it healthy and allowing the natural coat to grow in the right way. It’s a more time-consuming process but gives a more natural, show-quality finish. It’s often preferred for spaniels that are being shown in competitions, as it maintains the breed’s traditional coat texture. In short: Feathers/tidy: Neatening up the longer hair around the legs, ears, and belly. Clipping: Shortening the coat with clippers for a tidy, low-maintenance look. Handstripping: Pulling out dead hair by hand to maintain the coat’s texture and quality. If you aren't sure which groom type to choose, please drop me a message or call the salon. Please note neutering/spaying can change the texture of the coat and can impact the ability to handstrip this coat.
