Brush Regularly The best way to reduce hair loss and prevent shedding is to brush your dog's coat at least once a week. This will keep their skin from getting too dry, leading to infections and itchiness. Brushing stimulates blood flow, which helps keep the skin healthy and glowing. Regular brushing also helps remove excess fur from their coats, which prevents mats from forming and keeps them looking great. Use a soft bristle brush to brush your Cocker Spaniel. This will help remove loose hair and dead skin cells that can build up on the coat.

Many people mistake these pests for lice or mites on dogs' coats. Bathe your dog at least once a month - if not more often - to keep them looking clean and healthy. Use a shampoo designed for dogs or a special dog bath soap. Ensure to rinse well after bathing, so your dog doesn't get too much soap residue on their skin or coat.
