Welsh Springer Spaniel Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Welsh Springer Spaniel at Home
Grooming your Welsh Springer Spaniel at home can be simple once you know what their coat needs. This breed has a soft, silky coat with feathering on the chest, belly, legs and tail. Regular grooming helps keep the coat free from tangles and keeps shedding under control. Welsh Springers are active outdoor dogs, so keeping their coat tidy can also reduce the amount of dirt and debris they bring home.
Having the right tools makes all the difference. Using safe, reliable clippers helps you maintain the coat without causing discomfort. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and comfortable which is especially useful for dogs that can be sensitive to noise.
How Often Should You Groom a Welsh Springer Spaniel?
We recommend
• Brushing several times per week
• Light trimming every 6 to 8 weeks
This routine helps prevent tangles in the feathered areas and keeps the coat healthy and manageable.
Basic Grooming Steps for Welsh Springer Spaniels
• Start by brushing thoroughly to remove loose hair and knots
• Use quiet dog clippers for light body tidying and for areas that matt easily
• Trim feathering on the legs, tail and belly with grooming scissors for a polished finish
• Check the ears regularly, as Welsh Springers can be prone to wax buildup

Frequently Asked Questions
How short should I clip my Welsh Springer Spaniel?
Most owners keep the body lightly trimmed rather than fully clipped. Feathering on the legs and tail is usually neatened instead of cut short to keep the natural breed appearance.
Do Welsh Springer Spaniels shed?
Yes, they shed moderately throughout the year. Regular brushing helps remove loose hair and keeps the coat looking tidy.
How do I stop mats from forming?
Focus on brushing the feathering on the legs, chest and belly several times per week. These areas tangle more easily, especially after walks.
Are clippers safe to use on my Welsh Springer Spaniel?
Yes, as long as you use quiet, well maintained dog clippers. Choose suitable blades and always brush the coat before clipping to prevent snagging.
