Grooming
Cocker spaniels are a breed that require frequent grooming, something I didn't understand when I first got Sami.  Over the years, however, I have acquired the necessary tools needed to keep my girls' coats in good condition.  There are many great products available, but I have started out with the basics.   The following items are what I have chosen to use and that work for me.  Each person has their own preference though.  
Items needed for brushing cockers:
- Pin Brush
- Slicker Brush
- Undercoat Rake
- Comb
- Dematting Comb
- Detangling Spray
Miscellaneous items:
- Nail Clippers
- Styptic powder
(in case you clip too close to the quick)
- Bath wipes
(for in between bath cleaning)
- Freshening spray
- Toothbrush & Toothpaste
Clipping:
- Clippers
(I purchased the Andis Pro-Clippers)
- #10 & 7F blades
- Blade lubricant
- Cooling Spray
- Blade Wash
Bath items:
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Spray nozzel
(I found a great spray nozzel and hose I can attach to a sink in the laundry room at Walgreen's for $3.50)
Last updated: 3/19/2006 In the future I hope to add to my collection and try out some other products recommended by other cocker friends.
