Field Spaniel Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Field Spaniel at Home
Grooming a Field Spaniel at home is very achievable with the right tools and a calm, steady approach. Field Spaniels have a medium to long silky coat that can become knotty if not brushed often, especially around the ears, chest, feathering and tail. Regular grooming keeps their coat healthy, reduces shedding and helps prevent matting in those thicker areas of fur.
Using clippers that are comfortable to hold and quiet enough for a sensitive dog can make a huge difference. Masterclip clippers are designed to glide smoothly through longer coats while keeping noise levels low so grooming is easier for both you and your Field Spaniel.
How Often Should You Groom a Field Spaniel?
We recommend:
• Brushing several times per week
• A full groom every 6 to 8 weeks
Routine grooming helps keep their coat shiny and manageable. It also prevents tangles from forming in the feathered areas which Field Spaniels are well known for.
Basic Grooming Steps for Field Spaniels
• Start with a thorough brush to remove loose hair and tangles
• Use quiet dog clippers to tidy the body, neck and chest
• Trim the feathering, ears and feet with scissors for a natural finish
• Check the ears regularly since Field Spaniels are prone to ear build up

Field Spaniel Grooming FAQs
How short should I clip my Field Spaniel?
Most owners prefer to keep the body tidy while leaving the feathering natural. Blade lengths between 3 mm and 9 mm are popular for the body depending on the finish you like.
Do Field Spaniels shed a lot?
They shed moderately. Regular brushing helps reduce loose hair and keeps their coat smooth.
Can I shave my Field Spaniel completely?
It is not usually recommended because their coat provides protection from the weather. A tidy clip is a better option that keeps them cool without removing the coat entirely.
How do I look after the long ears?
Check and clean them often because Field Spaniels can be prone to ear build up. Gently trim around the ears to prevent tangles forming in the longer fur.
What blades work best for Field Spaniels?
A5 blades and comb attachments are ideal. Shorter blades work well on the body and longer combs help manage feathered areas.
