Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Grooming Guide

Grooming the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

It is recommended to brush the coat daily to avoid tangles, but at least 3 times a week, and to bathe the dog approximately every 15 days.

Brushing the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a soft, silky coat that requires regular brushing to avoid tangles – especially on the ears, chest, legs, and tail, where the coat is longest. Use a soft brush or comb that can gently work through the coat and keep it smooth and well-maintained.

Trimming the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Clipping is not necessary, but the coat can be lightly trimmed around the paws, ears, and hindquarters for better hygiene and a neat appearance. The natural length of the legs, tail, and feathering should be maintained to highlight the breed's characteristic look.

Special attention

It is important to maintain good hygiene around the eyes and ears to avoid infections. The coat can tend to tangle, especially when longer, so it is always recommended to go through it with a comb after brushing to catch any remaining knots.

Recommended grooming visits

This coat type – especially if kept long – should be professionally groomed approximately every 8 weeks, with a bath in between. Regular visits to a dog groomer help keep the coat in optimal condition.
