What does a teddy bear cut look like on a Cavalier?
A Cavalier teddy bear cut rounds the head into a soft shape, with the long ears trimmed to medium length and rounded at the tips. The body is trimmed to 1-2 inches, removing the long feathering on the legs, chest, and belly. The result is a clean, puppy-like appearance that's much easier to maintain than the full coat.
How much does a Cavalier groom cost?
A Cavalier teddy bear cut costs $60-$90 in Australia. Their medium-length silky coat takes moderate time to groom. Regular visits keep costs consistent and prevent matting behind the ears and on the chest.
Should I keep my Cavalier's ears long or short?
With a teddy bear cut, most owners trim the ears to about half their natural length — long enough to frame the face but short enough to reduce tangling and ear infections. Cavaliers are prone to ear issues, so shorter, well-ventilated ears can help prevent problems.
