Cavalier King Charles Spaniel grooming challenges

Tear Stain Management

Light-coated breeds stain easily around the eyes. Track stain-prevention routines in pet notes.

Daily Matting Risk

Silky coats tangle overnight. Coach clients with post-appointment care tips stored in their pet profile.

Topknot & Styling

Show-friendly breeds need consistent styling. A before/after photo log keeps styling standards across visits.

Bath Frequency

Long coats stay cleaner with a 2–3 week cadence. Use recurring bookings to lock in the rhythm.
