    Bear is my Newfoundland that lives with me in my apartment in NYC. While his size and amount of floof might be adorable and lovable, it makes keeping him clean and hygenic a very difficult process. Every few weeks I sit down with Bear and spend hours making sure he's well groomed, from bathing, to shampoo, to soap, then brushing his teeth, trimming his nails, trimming his fur, and the exhaustive process of drying him out. I wanted to share this bathroom ritual with all of you so you could see just how challenging it is to groom my floofy in NYC, but also teach you some helpful tips about caring for your pets should you find yourself with a dog to groom someday.

      It's really cute but the yawning is a sign of I don't like what is happening and the licking is a sign of you're too close I'm uncomfortable but I trust you and will submit so please don't hurt me. It's not that he's scared of his Dr Mike or anything, he's just letting him know hey this isn't fun I'd rather not but if you insist I will because I trust you. Too many people miss dog yawning as a sign of discomfort and then are the first people to go Hey this dog big me without warning. No he warned you, you just missed it.

    As a vet student, seeing Dr. Mike treating his cute dog so well makes me really happy! You'd think that's common sense, but as someone who already works with domestic animals, human negligence to animal can really be stressing. Last week there was a poor dalmatian that died from having too many ticks. And it wasn't even his tutor who took him to the clinic, but actually the housekeeper. For a dog to die of ticks, it only means his tutors simply ignored it for too damn long. Animals really don't deserve this...

      How can that poor dog get into such a state? Seriously some humans should not be animal owners. My dad was vigilant about giving my dog his worming tablet and flea/tic ointment, had it on the calendar and everything. I usually brushed the dog, but he wasn’t the biggest fan so did little and often. My dad would clip his nails, but as he was an all black German Shepard, it was hard to see where the end stopped so he had a few trips to the vets with a broken claw, and the vets would cut his other nails as well. (Sometimes it’s better to admit defeat and get professionals to do something). My dog had a ‘shower’ with a hose in the garden when he got stanky in the summer, and if he’d been in the fields, my dad would check for any tics etc. I thought we were doing the basic minimum but apparently not.

    I’m a dog groomer and this is one of the best home grooms I have ever seen. Well done you. I do have a few tips if you want to make it even better and safer than it already is:
    1) Get a deshedding tool, I would recommend the equigroomer. This will pull out so much more dead hair without damaging his top coat and leaves beautiful results!
    2) When you trim him, instead of bouncing the scissors, keep your hand nice and still. This reduces the risk of injury to Bear, reduces fatigue for you and creates a cleaner cut. I’d also just invest in some cheap but decent doggy scissors!
    Other than that, I honestly can’t really fault this groom at all. Home grooms terrify me, as we see the aftermath of the irresponsible ones (deep lacerations, major rashes and infection, severe matting because people only brush the top coat and shave downs on dogs like newfies which should only be the absolute last resort), so seeing this groom was lovely 💜 You’ve clearly invested a lot of time and money into ensuring Bear is well cared for and that you have the correct knowledge to groom him. Seriously, well done from England 💜🐾

    Hi I’m a dog groomer! I think this video is amazing at showing at home grooming. The only thing I would recommend is different brushing tools only to save your time. I find it’s much faster using a slicker brush, a deshedding rake, and a metal comb (for checking your work) is the best for brushing out super floofy dogs like yours without taking hours (I made this mistake too before). I also find if you can hold the dryer and brush gently at the same time it helps removing some fur. Everything you were doing (especially with blocking the blade from the dog with the dematting tool) is correct and great I just figured I’d share some time saving techniques with you 🥰❤️

    As a dog groomer/teacher I really hope you see this and it helps make things even easier for you. Try a Chris Christensen coral brush. It’s great on thick coats like Bear’s. Also the razor blade brush is meant to break mats to make them easier to brush. If you use it too much you can cause more matting to occur. I have other tips too (especially with those scissors), but for an at home job you didn’t too bad and I’m happy to see you take such good care of him ❤
