This is how my groomer takes care of my senior Newf. Comfort grooming...what he can do, she does. What he can't she doesn't. I'm so grateful she takes good care of my sweet boy. She always apologizes that he's not perfectly groomed, but in my eyes he always is! Therefore, my tip reflects my gratitude.
@@dogcrazy25 And my 7 lb Chihuahua is going on 8 and is technically a senior dog. But you wouldn't know it. The vet says his heart, lungs, and teeth are good, and he doesn't have arthritis. So far. I do watch his weight pretty carefully.
I'm glad you detailed the amount of work involved and how the grooming fee breaks down. You mentioned a cut goes to the business owner but remind people that's not all profit. It covers the cost of 5 doses of shampoo, conditioner, insurance etc..
Also utility bills. I'd guess her water bill and her electricity bill are substantial. I mean, heating all that water. Although maybe she has a gas hot water heater. And running dryers. And washing towels. Also rent for her shop - I assume she rents - and loan payments (again assuming) for equipment. As you say, etc.
Ok, it’s official. I’m grooming my dog _by myself_ if I ever get one. I’ll bring them in for the clips, but I’ll take over the bathing and brushing to save some dollars.
Yes!!! It amazes me how much people complain about the price of grooming. Even small dogs seem like they would be difficult and time consuming. Hats off to the groomers out there. 😊
My NewFi was the the best dog I ever had. The most loving soul you'd ever meet and best friend to every kid in the neighborhood. Groups of kids would ring our doorbell and ask could he come out and visit. When he saw the kids, his tail would wag so hard. Every kid left covered in drool. I'm sure their parents were thrilled 😄
I finally found a kindred soul! I too am a senior who is only comfortable laying on one side and do not pee in the grass. I, however, am not so compliant as any Newfie. Enjoyed the vid, thanks!
Newfies are pretty much angels temperament wise, good with kids, critters, other pets, training, etc. but they come with big ticket grooming costs, having to frequently go around your place to clean up drool and fuzz, and the health concerns that come with all giant breeds(joints are especially fragile as puppies, degrade faster as adults, etc.).
That expression on his face in the shower was precious. What a great dog. Thank you for explaining the truths about grooming dogs of all breeds. It's very helpful for people like me thinking about getting a dog. I love your videos. I've been watching them from the beginning of your journey. They get better and better every year!!
I have a 6 month old Newfoundland. She's at the groomer for her first time. I hope our groomer survived. Her 5 year old Newfoundland sister is with her too
@@jeannebrauher3587 oh yes! My intact male I could tell lots of stories!! My female was easier to manage. He’s 4 now still intact and a complete joy!! Thankfully I survived 😂
Would just like to say I have a great pyr mix pup with hair like this and nasty critter and fluff off have made such a huge difference in her coat!! She gets lots of compliments🥰
It's also cause while they're usually extremely nice tolerant dogs they're also extremely stubborn. If Newf plops down and doesn't want to move then you're SOL until he/she decides to move.
Absolutely!!! Not only is she professional, efficient and kind with her clients (even 8:30 the really difficult ones!), but she never fails to give owners the benefit of her knowledge and patience. I cannot remember any time that she has bad mouthed an owner, in fact I can remember numerous times that she has gone out of her way to ask commenters on her videos to be kind to the animals owners in their comments. If I lived anywhere near Niagara Falls she would be who I would want to groom my dogs, free or not!!!
@@Yesica1993 It's not disgusting. Drool and other body fluids are part of what it means to be a pet owner. If you can't deal with such things, you shouldn't own a pet.
@@Yesica1993 There's a thing called "cleaning" if that's too much for you, stick with the stuffed animals lol. No place is automatically filthy because of an animal that resides there; that's just how the place is looked after.
He looks (and probably feels) so much better after the groom. Thanks for demonstrating patience and kindness to a large older dog. You climb a mountain one step at a time and you can groom a large dog one part at a time. My Great Pyr: one day I comb out the chin and bib, next day arm pits and belly, another day under the tail and his tail, etc. until I get all around the dog. Getting combed out and cleaned up seems to feel good to him. Thanks again.
I know you love your grooms and your pets you are always patient and kind, thank you for explaining grooming and pay scale. He loved you as much as you loved him kudos to you Vanessa
6:46 LOVED that clip. “We need a break” Girl, my back hurt just to watch that 😵💫 I completely see why you’d need several days to recuperate 😮💨 Good on you to help these poor big pups 👌🌸
I had a Siberian Husky with a very fluffy double coat. I used to brush her out 2-3 times per week, between grooming appointments. It was a lot of work, but she was just another one of the kids and that's what she required.I see all of these dogs with all of that matting and it just breaks my heart. It's like having a child with curly hair and not brushing their hair out. People really need to understand that these beautiful huge dogs require a lot of maintenance, not just love, affection, and attention. Many blessings to everyone watching ❤❤❤
What a super dog. Even when he was uncomfortable he just cooperated as best he could. He looked fab at the end. I am sure his owner was delighted. (My back aches just watching) 👏
You are such a wonderful person to take on these giant challenges. I pray you'll stay healthy and limber for and not suffer from the aches and pains of growing old when you get there, even though that's many years away for you.

Wait that was a dog? I thought it was a bear 😂
Looks like you were grooming a small black bear.

Its amazing to be a senior dog at 9, my current dog is under 50lbs and is now senior at 13.
@@dogcrazy25Maybe he's a senior dog for a Newfie?
Yeah, Newfs’ lifespans are 10-12 years.
@@dogcrazy25 And my 7 lb Chihuahua is going on 8 and is technically a senior dog. But you wouldn't know it. The vet says his heart, lungs, and teeth are good, and he doesn't have arthritis. So far. I do watch his weight pretty carefully.
I’m so glad you have an awesome groomer for your baby!

@@rogue7723😂. And getting a shot haired dog?
THIS
“We need a break” I felt that! And boy you had a cute pillow over there🥰😍
I couldn't quite hear her after.
I got "just a big" but not the fourth word. "kid" ?
@@psilorder86 I’m pretty sure she said “he doesn’t even care,” referring to the dog she was laying on. Lol.

Thanks for giving me a laugh!
😂❤
😅😅😅

Him laying down as more soap gets on him is like the suds are heavy ma'am. What a beautiful and cute newfie
What a magnificent floof! ❤

Washing a Newf means warning FEMA and getting sandbags. What a love he is.
😂😂
I am most impressed-of all the things she does-with the sureness and ease with which she clips the nails.
Part of me thinks her clipper blades must be carved out of diamonds, no matter how gnarly those claws look she just clips right through them
@@ravensclawtemplar Huh. Maybe she has them sharpened regularly? Maybe that makes a difference?
What a beautiful boy. Thank you for being so gentle with him. Every one I’ve ever known is just the sweetest thing.
It was so cute when you used him as a back pillow 😆. You guys were almost the smae size! 😂❤
Yes, that was funny when they both took a break!
Looks like you groomed a bear! What a love!
What a great dog. Thanks for doing your thing Vanessa and thanks to all the viewers who support Vanessa.
What a great big old bear of a doggo. You had to work so hard - he looked, and probably felt, so good afterwards.
He literaly is the definition of gentle giant.
@@veronikamajerova4564 Absolutely.

I swear it seems like newfies are the most laid back dogs, ever.
Not as adolescents 🤣
@@MaximillianandRubyGracemine have been awful as adolescents. Love them to pieces.
I have a 6 month old Newfoundland. She's at the groomer for her first time. I hope our groomer survived. Her 5 year old Newfoundland sister is with her too
@@jeannebrauher3587 oh yes! My intact male I could tell lots of stories!! My female was easier to manage. He’s 4 now still intact and a complete joy!! Thankfully I survived 😂
I've heard Newfies described as big fluffy Labs on sedatives. Pretty accurate actually, considering Labs were bred from Newfies.
Thanks for sharing the costs of grooming . Great video.
I love you so much. Arthur here, at the IU cancer center ❤❤❤❤❤
To borrow from the KC and The Sunshine Band's hit song:
Shake Shake Shake! Shake Your Newfie! 😂
Love it! 🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I have only met a Newfie once at Home Depot and they left a lasting impression. They were so sweet and slobbery. They gave me lots of kisses. 😂❤
I know you are petite but when you’re grooming a big boy twice your size it’s really cute!!! A fairy grooming an oompah loompah.
Above and beyond Vanessa.Thank you!
Love how you don't bother glamourising yourself - you don't need to - beauty shines! 🌟
What a sweet handsome boy! Thank you for helping him by shaving the mats.
Would just like to say I have a great pyr mix pup with hair like this and nasty critter and fluff off have made such a huge difference in her coat!! She gets lots of compliments🥰
Thanks for sharing! Im glad you're enjoying my products 🙂
He's gonna shake, RUN
Goodest boy ever!
It's also cause while they're usually extremely nice tolerant dogs they're also extremely stubborn. If Newf plops down and doesn't want to move then you're SOL until he/she decides to move.
What a glorious boy & so sweet ❤
Thank you for helping him get all clean & handsome.
He was so chill, what a good boy!
It’s Floof Mountain
🥰
😂😂
1:39 He is enjoying that soap massage so much, look at him closing his eyes there! Love a newfie!
When you took a rest on him, it just warmed my heart! Such a sweet boy and such a beautiful human you are! ❤
6:45 Big dogs make the BEST pillows... you both look too cute!🥰
So adorable. Big lump of fuzzy cuteness
If he weren't the sweetest boy ever born it would be impossible. Kudos to you for staying the course!
That's a well behaving elephant seal with fur
Three days to recuperate works out to about 50 cents per hour.
I just came up with your nickname. Vanessa The Magnificent! You are Indeed the Best Groomer on Utube. 😊
Absolutely!!! Not only is she professional, efficient and kind with her clients (even 8:30 the really difficult ones!), but she never fails to give owners the benefit of her knowledge and patience.

You're a miracle worker!!! I'll admit, as hard & exhausting as this grooming really was, Chase is one huge sweetheart!!!😍😍😍😍😍
That drool is something serious😭 He is such a handsome old floof! 🥰
It's disgusting! Who keeps their home so filthy?!
@@Yesica1993 It's not disgusting. Drool and other body fluids are part of what it means to be a pet owner. If you can't deal with such things, you shouldn't own a pet.

@@WillowtheRainFawn Yeah, because people are able to do nothing else all day but follow a dog around with a towel to clean up dog drool. Please.
What a sweetie 😊🐕💚
7:09 was that a sign of impatience? 🤣
It's the kind of signal mine would give me.
Mind stomps at me if I stop petting him

What a very healthy 9 year old newfie!! Kudos to the owners and breeder!
Chase, what a giant of a dog. He behaved very well for a big guy. He turned out beautiful ❤️.
I know you love your grooms and your pets you are always patient and kind, thank you for explaining grooming and pay scale. He loved you as much as you loved him kudos to you Vanessa
Such a good floof. "We need a break." Has the best pillow ever.
He is such a laid back big hearted big baby ❤ What a dog. Your amazing with him Vanessa 💕
What an awesome and totally sweet boy! My kinda move-being too tired to shower and just laying in it🤣🐶❤️!

BIG FLOOF!
That is some hard work for both of you.
Well, done both of you!
Newfies are giant floofy teddy bears that deserve all the love, treatos, and belly-rubs we can give.
Thank you so much for looking after him . What a gentle soul he is .
Your ideas are always fresh and original. Thank you for the inspiration!😵🤗🤝
What a darling Chase is! I wanna go hug him, he’s just a doll. Thank you Vanessa for your patience and care!!
What a super dog. Even when he was uncomfortable he just cooperated as best he could. He looked fab at the end. I am sure his owner was delighted. (My back aches just watching) 👏
"No human clients beyond this point" sign is placed on the dog-level height. Means "dont bring your hoomans with you, be brave"
His expressions could write a story. ❤
What a lovable, beautiful oaf! ❤❤
Appreciate your hard work, Vanessa and Team.
Aww , thank you for taking on this groom . He really needed it . What a sweet boy !
Like always you did a wonderful job🎉
What an adorable smile. Very beautiful sweetheat.❤
What a beautiful dog, he was very quiet.
Wow big dog,I can't even imagine all the work you do,congratulation on your efforts
Yes, this dog is magnificent ! And so kind and patient! Beautiful work young lady! You are fantastic! 🌈🌈👍👍👼👼💕💕
Oh to catch girl with the dogs 4 mins after upload
I really enjoyed his facial expressions and his eyes were so telling.
I love how exclusive your salon is! "No humans beyond the point." ❤️❤️❤️ Chase is adorable 🥰
I just love dogs of all types but I couldn't handle extra drooly ones to live with
Vanessa you laying down on Chase was adorable! Thank you for sharing this beautiful big floofs with us! ❣
I love the compassion and care you show when grooming! Well done!
I don’t know why but I always love seeing your tiny hands holding their massive paws!
What a stunning big dog with a wonderful nature. . And he must have appreciated your tender care and expert attention. Well done!.
When you were laying on him, cracked me up.
That face at 2:59❤❤
🥺🥰
You are one in a million. So sweet when you and Chase took a mindful moment 😊
What a stunning dog with an amazing character. He’s a dream ❤
So much slobber
I love how he was napping while you were working so hard.
What a sweet ball of fur! He's so sweet and cute! And BIG! Your hand disappeared when you were holding his paw. Thanks for all you do!❤
Another great grooming Vanessa! You are the best. I enjoy your videos and look forward to each new one 👍🐕🐈👸❤
What a sweetheart. It was wonderful to watch this and really understand the work that goes into. Hope you were able to recover easily!
I did enjoy the humongous Chase, so thank you. He just towered over you while you were on the floor trying to brush him out! What a sweetie. Peace …
Chase is a lucky boy to have you caring for him.
You are such a wonderful person to take on these giant challenges. I pray you'll stay healthy and limber for and not suffer from the aches and pains of growing old when you get there, even though that's many years away for you.
What a glorious, sweet boy! Thank you for explaining the challenges of taking on such an arduous grooming job! Much respect! 👍
I have no idea why it’s hot in November😕
Global warming 🤔
Science is your friend.
Increased solar activity .
La Niña.
It's great to know exactly how much it costs to do such a tremendous amount of work. ❤❤❤ Thank you por helping all those big boys out there❤
Thats a huge guy! I couldnt imagine how you felt the next day, though hes a gentle giant, he still had his stubborn moments.
What a sweetie boy! Don't you just want to hug him and smooch that face!
Every human is in need of a hug with that floofy goodness.
I was just thinking about getting a Newfoundland, and then I saw this!
Vanessa you are a star! Glad you had a few days recuperation. What a terrific job you did on Chase. 🥰 Judie
chase a sweet adorable cuddly bear of a dog. He is such a good boy, and you did a great job on him.
