Newfoundland dogs are pretty big breed of a dog, so when some people see them and consider buying them, they may ask themselves (beside some other facts) are these dogs hard to groom. It’s never easy to answer on a question like that, because people have different preferences and opinions and therefore some of them do certain things in an easier way than other and vice-versa. Yes, you will need to spend some time on doing this and it may seem a little boring sometimes, but if you are thinking of buying a dog it means that you like them, so doing an activity that is related to it shouldn’t represent a problem to you.
Ok, so let’s get to the point. In the beginning, it will be a good idea that your puppy is being groomed at least once a day. A slicker brush is more than enough for doing this. There is nothing special that should be mentioned here, except that you should be very careful when brushing inner parts of its legs and its stomach, because they are more sensitive than other parts of its body. When your Newfoundland puppy grows a bit, you can groom it once a week instead of every day. Also, you may consider using some other tools beside brush for keeping your Newfoundland dog clean, so if you are unsure about that (or anything else related to your dog), it will be the best idea that you consult the breeder that you have bought dog from (or a vet of course).
Grooming Newfoundland puppy shouldn’t be a hard thing to do, but yet there are few things that their owner should know. First of all, try not to make a long procedure of grooming. As it was mentioned, your puppy should be groomed at least once a day at start, so, if you even make it last long, you are not the only one who will get bored of it. Also, don’t get this like “Ok, I’m going to finish this job in 5 seconds”, doing it fast isn’t the best thing to do either. Just try to do it in a best way possible and also pay attention to its ears hygiene, because it’s very important to them.
Besides taking a good care of your Newfoundland puppy’s coat, it also important that you teach it that grooming isn’t anything that it should refuse to do. Even if you have any difficulties sometimes, never lose your temper and try to be the best owner you can be. Ok, so let’s get to the point.
