Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Grooming Before & After — See the Transformation

Before

After

This Cavalier King Charles Spaniel came in at 6-8 weeks since the last appointment, ready for a complete service. The coat had grown to the point where a natural trim (breed standard -- minimal cutting) was both needed and requested. Bath with breed-appropriate shampoo, high-velocity blow-dry to remove loose coat, natural trim (breed standard -- minimal cutting) completed. Nails trimmed, ears cleaned, teeth brushed. In Miami's climate, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels at this interval develop matting that becomes painful without professional attention. Time: 65 minutes.

After

This Cavalier King Charles Spaniel arrived with 12 weeks of coat growth and significant matting, particularly in the pressure-point areas. We assessed the mats and were able to work through most with a de-matting spray and careful combing, though one area behind the left ear required clipping out. The natural trim (breed standard -- minimal cutting) was kept slightly shorter than usual to compensate for mat-affected areas. Owner was advised to begin daily brushing especially behind the ears and at the underarms. A de-matting surcharge was applied for the additional time required. The coat condition after completion was excellent.

Regular Cavalier King Charles Spaniel client on a every 5 weeks schedule. This dog arrived in excellent condition — proof of what consistent professional grooming and at-home brushing achieves. We performed a light refresh: bath, blow-dry, light scissor touchup to neaten the natural trim (breed standard -- minimal cutting), nail trim, ear cleaning. Total time: 45 minutes — about 20-30 minutes less than a first-time or infrequent client. The time savings from consistent scheduling mean this appointment costs less and causes less stress for the dog. Next appointment scheduled.
