Caring for your Newfoundland

Maintenance: Brushing once a week along with a monthly bath is most recommended.
Grooming: Brushing weekly is recommended to minimise shedding at home, you should always use products and tools that won't damage the coat or skin of your Newfoundland This is a breed who's coat renews itself seasonally which causes shedding of old/dead hair therefore you cannot clip this type of coat but rather stimulate it's growth with brushing and shape it with light scissoring.
Special Attention: Pay attention to protect the nose and paw pads from dryness to prevent cracked skin which can lead to wounds.
Recommended Grooming Appointments: This breed should be groomed professionally every 8 to 12 weeks depending on the volume of shedding, meaning visits should be more frequent around Spring and Autumn when the biggest coat change happens. Alongside this, they should be bathed monthly to maintain healthy skin and coat.
