Hi all, I’d really appreciate some advice. We have a working cocker spaniel. I’ve read that double coated dogs such as spaniels should be hand stripped and scissor clipped and never shaved with clippers. She was spayed last year and her coat has changed (a lot more fluffy and less shine). We want to get her trimmed and groomed. I’ve contacted 3 groomers. One is busy until October, one hasn’t got back to me and the 3rd has availability but has said that because she’s spayed she’s not suitable for hand stripping and can only be shaved. I know this will permanently alter the coat and so want some advice before booking anything. Is this groomer correct? Or should I look elsewhere? Thanks.
