How to Keep a Cocker Spaniel's Hair Fluffy

Grooming is an important part of your Cocker Spaniel's health. Good grooming practices can improve your dog's blood circulation, coat health and demeanor. Because Cocker Spaniels usually have long hair, daily brushing is required to remove dirt and other debris your dog will pick up while outside. Brushing will also help to keep your Cocker Spaniel's hair fluffy and shiny.

Instructions

    • 1

      Brush against your Cocker Spaniel's fur with a slick brush to remove dead hair and any debris caught in its coat.

    • 2

      Remove any tangled fur with the comb. You can also check for fleas, parting the hair from the root and combing through it.

    • 3

      Brush with the fur growth of your Cocker Spaniel with a regular bristle brush. Repeat steps 1 through 3 daily.

    • 4

      Give your Cocker Spaniel a bath with shampoo and conditioner about every four to eight weeks. This will depend on the level of outside activity your dog receives. Refrain from over-bathing your dog, as this can remove some of the protective oils from its coat and skin.
