Spanish Water Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Spanish Water Dog at Home
Grooming your Spanish Water Dog at home is easier than you might think. With the right tools and a little patience, you can keep their coat healthy, neat, and free from tangles. Spanish Water Dogs have a dense, curly coat that can vary from tight curls to woolly waves. Regular grooming is important, especially around the legs, tail, and ears where mats and tangles tend to form.
Using safe, easy-to-handle clippers makes a big difference in comfort and efficiency. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and lightweight, helping make the grooming process smoother for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Spanish Water Dog?
We recommend:
- Brushing several times per week to prevent mats
- Full clipping or trimming every 6 to 8 weeks
This routine keeps the coat manageable, clean, and healthy while reducing the risk of skin irritation.
Basic Grooming Steps for Spanish Water Dogs
- Start by brushing or combing the coat thoroughly to remove knots
- Use quiet dog clippers to trim the body coat, taking extra care in sensitive areas
- Shape the face, ears, and paws with grooming scissors for a tidy finish
