The teddy bear cut on a Cocker Spaniel simplifies their traditionally long, flowing coat into a manageable, rounded style while retaining the breed's sweet expression. This is an increasingly popular choice for pet Cocker Spaniels whose owners want a practical alternative to the high-maintenance full coat.

Cocker Spaniels Teddy Bear Cut FAQ

What does a teddy bear cut look like on a Cocker Spaniel?

A Cocker Spaniel teddy bear cut shortens the body coat to 1-2 inches, rounds the head and face into a soft circular shape, and trims the ears to medium length rather than leaving them floor-length. The legs are scissored into rounded columns. It preserves the Cocker's gentle expression while dramatically reducing grooming maintenance.

How much does a Cocker Spaniel teddy bear cut cost?

A Cocker Spaniel teddy bear cut costs $70-$110 in Australia. Cockers are medium-sized but have dense, silky coats that take time to prepare. Heavily matted ears and feathering may incur additional charges.

How often does a Cocker Spaniel need grooming?

Every 6-8 weeks for a teddy bear cut. Cocker Spaniels are prone to ear infections, so the groomer should clean and check the ears at every visit. Between grooms, brush the ears and body weekly and check under the ear flaps for moisture or odour.

Should Cocker Spaniel ears be trimmed short?

With a teddy bear cut, the ears are trimmed to medium length — shorter than the traditional full Cocker coat but still long enough to frame the face. Shorter ears are easier to keep clean and reduce the risk of ear infections, which Cockers are prone to due to their ear canal structure.

General Cocker Spaniels Grooming Tips

Brush your Cocker Spaniel's coat 3-4 times a week, especially the ears, chest, and legs. Check ears weekly — their long, droopy ears are prone to infections. Keep the area under the ears clean and dry.
