English Springer Spaniel grooming in St. Charles, MO
Everything a English Springer Spaniel owner in St. Charles needs to know about coat care — what it needs, how often, and why it matters.
Why grooming matters for a English Springer Spaniel
The English Springer Spaniel has a practical double coat, but the long feathering on the ears, legs, chest, and belly is where grooming really matters. That silky fringe picks up burrs, mud, and moisture and mats readily, especially behind the ears and in the armpits and groin.
The long, heavy drop ears are a classic trouble spot for this breed. Hair grows inside and around the ear, airflow is limited, and moisture from water and mud gets trapped, so regular cleaning and trimming are essential to keep ears healthy and comfortable.
What we pay attention to
The long fringe on the ears, legs, and underside is brushed out and neatened, since it tangles and traps debris fastest.
The long, hairy drop ears are cleaned and trimmed to improve airflow and prevent the infections this breed is prone to.
Hair between the pads and around the feet is tidied to remove trapped mud, mats, and moisture.

English Springer Spaniel grooming FAQs
How often should an English Springer Spaniel be groomed?
Every six to eight weeks for a full groom keeps the coat and feathering in good shape, with brushing at home in between. The feathering mats quickly, so a consistent schedule really pays off.
Why do Springers get so many ear problems?
The long, heavy ears hang down and trap moisture with little airflow, and hair grows in and around the canal. Regular cleaning, trimming, and thorough drying after water play go a long way toward preventing infections.
