Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Pet Groom part 1)

This is Leo my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, in this video I am giving him a full body hair cut. If your Cavie is a show dog you won't be using this but if you have a beloved "pet" Cavie who either has really itchy skin, gets really hot in the summer, or you just don't feel like brushing often this may be helpful for you. In part 1 I show you how to clip the body. Part 2 will be about sissoring/thinning the body and feathers. Thanks for watching hope you enjoy!

hi ~:) i just bought a cavalier puppy and i was wondering how long i should wait till his first gloomy visit? I live at manhattan nyc - summer gets really hot :( , i also have a chihuahua but he is fine cuz he is a short hair but for my cavalier how often should i take him to grooming services?

thankz :)

@zzanghada1 As soon as your puppy has all his/her shots then he/she should be making a visit to the groomer or you wich every you prefer. The younger you start, no matter what breed, the better you dog will learn to enjoy the grooming process. Dogs that don't go to the groomer till they are close to or older than a year are usually very difficult to do, due to being fearful. The sooner you start the easier it will be for your dog Between 4-8 weeks is about how often you should take him. ;)

I own a Cav, and I think its DISGUSTING to shave them in ANY WAY! My Cav has terrible dry skin and dandruff that was completely fixed with dog coal tar shampoo! The fur WILL grow back curly, fly away and in wrong directon as Cavs should NEVER be shaved! IT RUINS THE GROWTH OF THE UNDER COAT! PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BE BOTHTERED TO GROOM PROPERLY OR FIND A CURE FOR SKIN PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE DOGS! THE LEGS SHOULD ALSO NEVER BE CLIPPED!

@MissSixtiesPennyLane I have had Leo for several years now... he does not grow back curly, fly away, nor does it grow in the wrong direction... no dogs hair does that when you shave them. The only dogs that you SHOULD NEVER shave are "actual" double coated breeds. Which FYI a Cavie is NOT double coated. ;) I have tried all kinds of shampoo and additives for the food, nothing helps him EXCEPT clipping him down. You should worry about your own dog, and stop worrying about other peoples pets. ;)

@MissSixtiesPennyLane I groom my Cav everyday and I have shaved him before because he sheds so much+his coat grew back exactly the same. I also shave his front legs as he pees on them+stains his white legs yellow. The word disgusting is a bit too strong in my opinion as no matter what my Cavalier looked like I would love him as he is beautiful. I am very grateful to spanielmom for taking the time to upload these videos and find them super helpful.

@Pigalit Thank you! I appreciate your comment and I am glad I could help you and your Cavie. ;) You are right, all four of my dogs are gorgeous no matter what their hair looks like, all dogs should be loved and cared for even if that means shaving them down occasionally when needed. ;) They are after all the same dog with or without luxurious coat! :)

I have a question,

my cavalier is just like yours exept it is much smaller and she's 1 years old, is it normal for a 1 year old king charels cavalier to be short, when do u think it will be like urs? what age ?

[lessgraviity]

Thanks for this! We have a 7-year-old Blenheim who usually gets a shave and trim for the summer, but I like to just do maintenance in the winter. Anywho, this was definitely helpful. Since he's definitely NOT a show dog, I have no problems shaving him. Besides, he would get so overheated.

My 6 month old black and tan cavie is named Leo as well! Aren't they adorable!!, thanks for the video!

I have a question. Suppose that you don't own a blade. How can you cut the dog's hair with a sissor? I mean, it's not like the curly hair of a poodle, it's a straight hair. I know it is a silly question. And sorry my english!

[shortyshortyist]

@yourOVAHness they shed a TON! that is the ONLY bad that about cavaliers. oh and they get separation anxiety. but the shedding is pretty bad so you have to brush them daily especially after they are dry from a bath. after baths they shed clumps. I have a cavalier that i love to death, i just wish they didn't shed so much.

[yourOVAHness]

i would love to spoil and own a cavalier. can someone tell me if they shed a lot???

[itsageoffrushthing]

I think a little trim where it's needed is much better for Cavvies!

[rangestormer999]

You don't cut cavilers I have caviler I wont cut his fur! ind a special shampoo that would word for his skin because the fur always grows back all bad if you cut it!! me i am keeping harveys fur long it is the best and best looking!

[Katrinelolable]

stop doing that! they got so beautiful Coat. and if he has skin problems then by a shampoo that works for it. that does not look pretty on cavaliers ..
