Brittany Spaniel Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Brittany Spaniel at Home
Grooming your Brittany Spaniel at home can be simple once you know what their coat needs. Brittanys have a soft, medium length coat with light feathering on the legs, chest and tail. Their coat is not usually prone to heavy matting, but it can trap dirt and tangles if it is not brushed regularly. Many owners choose to trim their Brittany to keep them looking tidy and to reduce shedding around the home.
Using the right clippers can make the process quicker and more comfortable for both you and your dog. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet, smooth running and easy to handle, which is especially helpful if your Brittany is sensitive to vibration or noise.
How Often Should You Groom a Brittany Spaniel?
We recommend:
• Brushing two to three times per week
• Light trimming or clipping every 6 to 8 weeks
Regular grooming helps keep the coat clean, reduces shedding and prevents tangles from forming in the feathered areas.
Basic Grooming Steps for Brittany Spaniels
• Brush through the coat to remove loose fur and minor knots
• Use quiet clippers on the body to neaten the coat
• Tidy the ears, legs and tail with scissors for a clean and natural finish
• Check and trim the fur between the paw pads to prevent mud build up
Your Brittany’s coat should look soft and natural rather than overly clipped. Many owners prefer a tidy, low maintenance look without removing too much length.

FAQs About Grooming a Brittany Spaniel
How much should I trim my Brittany Spaniel?
Most owners opt for a tidy trim rather than a full clip. The goal is to neaten the coat, shape the feathering and keep the dog comfortable without removing the natural look.
Do Brittany Spaniels shed a lot?
Yes, Brittanys are moderate shedders. Regular brushing helps reduce loose fur and keeps the coat healthy.
Should I shave my Brittany in summer?
Shaving is not recommended because their coat helps regulate body temperature. A light trim is usually enough to keep them cool.
What blade length works best for a Brittany?
Many groomers prefer medium length blades for the body and longer comb attachments for the feathered areas to maintain a natural finish.
Are Brittany Spaniels difficult to groom?
Not usually. Their coat is softer and easier to manage compared to curly coated breeds. With the right tools and a simple routine, grooming at home is very manageable.
