Sarah Hero Member Posts: I have 2 neutored working cockers one male and one female and Ive kept their coats naturally long and just a daily brush has been sufficient. However since being neutored my oldest is getting rather fluffy and I want to thin his coat out abit. I was looking at having a go at hand stripping him. But Im not sure which comb I need. Can someone point me in the right direction? He has quite a fine coat as he has roan in his lines but Ive heard that its impossible to do with a neutored cocker.
From the thread at the top of this section Ive been looking at the Spratts 76 but is this the right one for a neutored cocker?
I definately want to avoid trimming or shaving him as I like the long and natural look as much as possible but I just want him to be abit more comfortable over the summer. Now my little girls been spayed its only a matter of time before she catches him up on the fluff front so I would prefer to do it at home rather than go to a groomers as its cheaper and Alot of the groomers round my way are useless. Ive not seen any with a hair cut I like and when ive spoken to them about what I want they look at me like Im crazy for not wanting him to look like a show cocker.
This guide outlines what grooming tools might be best for different types of dog coats long, short, thick, thin, and so on. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.

You should always consult your own veterinarian, animal expert, or health care professional and follow their advice before making decisions on all matters. Undercoat deShedding can be performed at any time on a pet with a completely dry coat, but for best results it is recommended to be performed immediately after washing or drying.
Before using the undercoat deShedding tool, perform a complete physical inspection of your pet. If your pet has any of these conditions, seek treatment from a veterinarian before brushing. Although the Skinguard design prevents digging in at edges and helps the undercoat deShedding tool slide over skin, deep or rough brushing can still irritate pet skin, so avoid brushing with excessive pressure.
If you notice any redness or irritation discontinue use. The undercoat deShedding tool may be used on most animals that shed, including dogs, cats, and other pets with an undercoat. The undercoat deShedding tool should not be used on non-shedding breeds or on pets with particularly sensitive skin.
It may be necessary to use the undercoat deShedding tool more frequently during heavy shedding seasons. The undercoat deShedding tool will remove large amounts of loose hair and undercoat, so a location that is easy to clean, such as a tile floor indoors or an outdoor area, makes cleanup more convenient. Most importantly, always choose a location where your pet feels comfortable and safe.

My husband has been taking him for walks and using a harness. We take it off as soon as he comes inside but it seems that the harness is causing mats in his fur, right at the skin level.
I have tried to comb them out with a regular comb and also a rake type comb but I'm having a hard time getting them out and he's not very patient with me because I'm sure it hurts.
I was in a pet store today asking about what I could use and the store owner showed me the "Furminator". She said she uses it on her dogs but they don't have the fur that Disney does. His fur is so thick and on the wavy side. I went on the "Furminator" website and there's a video demonstration but I'm still not convinced that this is what I should be using on Disney.
I'm wondering if any of you have tried this tool on your cockers. Or, could you suggest something else that I could use? I typically order through Pet Edge and I see that they sell de-matting tools but I'm not sure what would work best. Thanks so much for your help! Owned by 3 cockers. I tried the Furminator when it first came out, and I didn't find it particularly useful. On the back it can be used to strip out undercoat, but the Mars Coat King 20 does a better job.
Those tiny mats group together into larger mats. I have no real advice for you - either brush daily to minimize tangling, don't use a harness or shave him. Maybe Robin has a better solution?

Mine have medium leg feathering.
Owned by 2 cockers. I bought one for my son's dog, Knute, who is a black lab mixed with some kind of herding dog. Knute has the shedding ability of a lab along with the little longer fur of shepard or something.
