Most dog's hair and coats need some attention. The English Toy Spaniel dog grooming instruction for caring for your dog's hair or coat is as follows:

  • Always start at the top of your dog of puppy's head
  • Use a pin brush and gently brush through the hair
  • Go over the coat using a medium-toothed comb
  • Carefully brush or comb through any tangles or knots in the hair
  • Grooming will help to keep your dog or puppy's coat looking smart and healthy
