Hello!
I have a 19 month old working cocker bitch called Luna and after weighing up the pro's and con's decided to get her spayed in January following her first season 3 months prior. One thing I hadnt considered is the coat change that occurs... And its been a big one! Shes a solid black colour and WAS silky smooth and very shiny coated, short on the body with feathery legs but in the last couple of months her coat has gone dull and fluffy, shes developed curls around her back and her legs have got thicker feather and even her stomach now too. I groom her daily and trim her every couple of weeks but shes never been to a groomer or been clipped. Ive heard some people say the best way to manage a coat change is regular clipping and some say never to clip after a coat change... Who is right?! And is there any products people would recommend to improve the appearance of her coat and give it a shine back? Shes never going to be shown so its not a problem for me but she is getting hot a lot quicker because of how thick her coat has become... Not ideal this time of year! Helllpp!
