Springer Spaniel Dog Clippers and Accessories
The Springer Spaniel is a medium sized breed of gun dog that was traditionally used for flushing and retrieving game.
It is an affectionate and excitable breed that is closely related to the Welsh Springer and English Cocker Spaniel. An even tempered dog with a kind and gentle nature makes it a wonderful family pet.
The term springer comes from their historic hunting role where the dogs would 'spring' or 'flush' birds into the air. The English Springer Spaniel is a great sniffer dog and it is widely used by the special forces for drug and explosive detection.
Athletic and versatile, it is also excellent at agility, track and obedience trials. The Springer Spaniel tends to have lots of silky hair on the chest, legs and underbelly, all of which need regular attention to stop any build up of mats and tangles.
To keep the coat looking its best, the Springer needs plenty of grooming and this should be done a couple of times a week. As part of the coat maintenance, the Masterclip English Springer Spaniel dog clippers set is perfect to help trim down the coat.
Three blades are included in the dog clipper set that are best suited to this breed. A short cut dog clipper blade to trim around the face, ears and back end and two longer cut body blades to help keep the Springer Spaniel coat tidy.
See below for our complete range of Springer Spaniel dog clippers, trimmers, blades and grooming accessories including bull nosed safety scissors for delicate work around the face.
How to Groom a Springer Spaniel at Home
Grooming your Springer Spaniel at home is simple with the right tools and a bit of practice. These dogs have a medium-length coat with feathering on the ears, chest, legs, and tail. Regular grooming keeps their coat healthy, shiny, and free from mats, particularly around the ears, chest, and behind the legs where tangles commonly form.
Using safe and easy-to-handle clippers can make a big difference, especially for dogs that are nervous around noise. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and comfortable to use, making the grooming experience smoother for both you and your Springer Spaniel.
How Often Should You Groom a Springer Spaniel?
For a happy and healthy coat, we recommend:
- Brushing several times a week to prevent tangles and remove loose hair
- Full clipping or trimming every 6–10 weeks depending on coat length, activity level, and lifestyle
Regular maintenance not only keeps your dog looking great but also helps prevent painful mats and keeps the coat soft and manageable.
Basic Grooming Steps for Springer Spaniels
- Brush the coat thoroughly to remove any knots and loose hair
- Use quiet dog clippers for trimming the body and sensitive areas
- Trim around the face, ears, paws, and tail with grooming scissors for a neat finish
- Check the ears regularly and remove any excess hair to help reduce the risk of infections

Frequently Asked Questions About Grooming Springer Spaniels

A: Brushing at least 3–4 times per week helps prevent mats and keeps the coat shiny. Pay special attention to the ears, chest, feathering, and behind the legs where tangles are most likely to develop.
Q: Can I trim my Springer Spaniel at home or should I see a groomer?
A: You can safely groom your Springer Spaniel at home with the right clippers and scissors. Start slowly, reward your dog throughout the process, and use quiet clippers if your dog is nervous. Regular home grooming can also reduce the cost and stress of professional grooming appointments.
Q: How do I prevent mats in my Springer Spaniel's coat?
A: Regular brushing, especially around the feathered areas, combined with occasional trimming will help prevent mats. A slicker brush and metal comb are excellent tools for keeping the coat tangle-free.
