Do Springer Spaniels Shed a Lot? Our Experience & Favorite De-Shedding Tool

One of the most common questions our puppy buyers ask is,
“How much do Springer Spaniels shed—and what can we do about it?”

The short answer:
Yes, Springer Spaniels do shed. They’re not in the “non-shedding” or “hypoallergenic” category, but with the right grooming routine, their shedding is very manageable and their coats stay healthy and beautiful.

In our home, we think of shedding control as regular coat care, not a one-time fix. A consistent routine makes a huge difference in how much hair ends up on your clothes, floors, and furniture.

Why a De-Shedding Tool Helps

Springers have a beautiful double coat that’s designed to protect them in the field and in all kinds of weather. That also means they have a mix of longer outer hairs and a softer undercoat that tends to loosen and shed.

A good de-shedding tool helps to:

  • Gently pull out loose undercoat

  • Reduce the amount of hair that ends up around the house

  • Keep the coat cleaner and less prone to matting

  • Make regular brushing sessions faster and more effective

In our video (linked below), we demonstrate how we use the Andis De-Shedding Tool as part of our regular grooming routine with our Spaniels.
