Spring Spaniel - grooming disaster!

Question
My 11 month Springer had his first cut yesterday and I am devastated that the groomer has cut his coat extremely short all over. His ears have been completely trimmed so that he has no hair at all on them - his trademark fluffy ears are completely gone.
How long does it take to grow back and can I do anything to help with growth?


Answer
Not to worry - his fur will grow back quite quickly.  And now you've learned to have a chat with any groomer and tell them exactly what you want :)

As to helping his coat in general, nutrition is key so feed a high quality food like Innova EVO - Fromm - Evanger's - Orijen - AvoDerm and don't use all kibble.  And use all the protein sources - don't just stick with one formula in any brand.

I don't know where you are but if you go to Naturapet.com you can find out where Innova is sold and whoever sells that will sell other premium brands.

AvoDerm is available at PetSmart.
