Grooming My Giant Dog In NYC

[@Beanbob47]

Bear is the most calm dog I’ve ever seen while grooming

[@Talhn]

Newfoundland's are known for being calm. In Peter Pan, Nana is actually a Newfoundland. I love these dogs (and Leonbergers) but it's just SO. MUCH. HAIR.

[@TheyCallMeDio]

Newfoundland dogs were bred to help fishermen iirc so it's not rare seeing them so calm getting wet

The video I watched before this was from dogsbylogan of him washing his poodle puppy. Raiku is so well behaved it's a true gem.

The bigger the dog the more seriously people (tend) to take the training of that dog. That’s why tiny dogs are the worst.

[@emiliest-andrepelletier3548]

I always did the grooming of my dogs by myself. It was hard, but at the same time I learned a lot and created a sens of trust and a great human/dog relationship with them. I can relate so much to this. Bear show us all the good side of having pets in our day to day life. You stop the time, and you just switch the mode: taking care of a being with love and compassion.

[@namisplace]

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...

Wait ain't tics expensive to treat??? How do you ignore a dog? Like that!

[@namisplace]

@@Silver_wind_1987_ if you take care of your dog as you should, they are not expansive to treat. But with negligence, everything can double the price, as your dog has a high risk of passing away.

[@sophieirwin3497]

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.

[@Silver_wind_1987_]

@W Mari I know. But we give our dog her flea and tick treatment. Heck she's due for a checkup soon. Ah the dreaded vet visits...Harley didn't like one vet he was a door knob and acted nervous around our dog...which made harley nervous and this absolute dumb@@@@ wanted to muzzle our dog for no reason. Mind you give her carrots and she's your best friend.

[@sophieirwin3497]

@@Silver_wind_1987_ my dog was such a drama Queen at the vets…until the treats came out.

[@toxic_misery6369]

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 🥰❤️

[@time2livelife]

Dr. Mike should collab with Girl With the Dogs

[@Sam-et8ex]

I second this. Really wish you had a nice quality comb!! Also, protect your ears while using the dryer. Otherwise really informative!

[@toxic_misery6369]

I’m rewatching this video again and I would also add that dogs can withstand a higher temperature water than expected. Obviously you shouldn’t use super hot water but having it be warmer then lukewarm is better because they’ll be less cold. Puppies need a higher temperature too

[@drowningophelia1705]

Dog groomer here. You shared a lot of good info that I often teach my clients and new groomers. A couple of recommendations to make that easier on you. Stretch you back before and after grooming a newfound on the floor! Use the mat breaker & brush BEFORE the hair gets wet. Upgrade your brush (Big G slicker brush by Chris Chistensen) & use conditioner and a demat spray. - changing your shower head will probably get you better water pressure. Great dog handling skills and Good Job to Bear!🎉

[@drowningophelia1705]

@Reaper-hz4vs sorry I mis- read your question the breed is called Newfoundland Dog. “Newfie” for short (

[@TexasAsian101]

Omg yes! I was going to say the same thing! Also, definitely recommend a metal comb for the small tangles that are missed by the matt-splitter and slicker brush.

[@mandyseay8062]

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 ❤

[@katrinag3099]

I came here to comment on his scissoring technique lol 😆 I do love that he's trying though. Better than 70% of the customers that walk in our doors.

[@megjenkinson2202]

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 💜🐾

Facts

[@NeverendingTori]

It's in his biology! Newfoundland dogs were historically bred to be working dogs for fishermen. In addition to the oils in their fur to give them some degree of water resistance, they also have webbed feet, are extremely strong swimmers and generally love all things water. They are still used for water rescue today. Newfies are also typically very calm and chill dogs in general, and are great with kids.

[@jennifermcallister728]

My cats don't even let me be near them when water is running.

[@shadow_relic3564]

I don’t even know how u attempt to bathe an animal (dog/cat) I can’t go near my dog without 15 minutes of running please teach me! Lol

[@gothicemowiccan]

You shouldn't be bathing your cats anyway... Cats are very clean creatures who clean themselves, and unless there is something in their fur (like they've rolled in grass and smeared a dead slug across their fur) then there should be no need for you to groom your cats. OR unless your cat has a case of fleas, OR is VERY old and unable to groom themselves. Cats are desert creatures, meaning they originate from a place with very little water, and take it water from the food they eat. Bathing simply isn't a concern for them, and can actually be detrimental to their overall long term skin health (cats can easily react to shampoos and soap - even pet safe ones - and it can cause severe dry skin) Brushing your cat is fine and actually recommended for older/longer haired cats because older cats find it harder to groom.

[@glenncordova4027]

Newfoundlands love water. He has probably been waiting for his bath all week. I had a West highland white terrier that loved bath time.

[@snoozyq9576]

Wow I would never get a pet that required this level of grooming. The dedication is very touching and sweet. And Bear is a very very good boi

[@abzfrezno22]

Can just keep his fur to a minimum like a lab and it shouldn’t be a hassle. They also don’t live in a cold climate so the fur isn’t necessary 🥴. The choice is always: Fur maintenance Or Fur trimmings And they both seem to enjoy fur maintenance 💇‍♂️ 🧸🧼🚿🪥🧹

[@Lyca214]

@@abzfrezno22 you can't shave a double coated dog, it interferes with their ability to regulate body temperature and damages the hair, possibly causing it to never grow correctly again. Standard poodles can be quite large dogs and you can shave them as short as you like. They have ugly skulls tho, like a dinosaur 😂 my poodle was 27 inches at the shoulder and 60 pounds. With short hair he took maybe 10 minutes to groom every few days. Long hair tho... Let's just say it's a daily upkeep for floofy poodles

As a dog groomer it’s great to see that you actually took the time to learn how to care for your dog’s coat! You did a great job !!

[@KodaBrown-ol4kl]

Bear is such a cutie patootie i swear, im so glad that you properly know how to take care of him. It bothers me when people treat big fluffy dogs not correct like not frequently brushing them or taking proper care of their coat.

[@skylerfoxgaming]

I showed my dad your channel a little while back, and he is hooked! He laughs every time you get mad at something or when you start yelling “CHEST COMPRESSIONS!” He starts telling people in crime and medical shows that they need chest compressions! Me and him watch your channel together, and it makes us both happy, but it also creates happy memories! So thank you for being an amazing KZbinr, and for giving me these memories to look back on when I am older! Again, thank you Dr. Mike! 💝😁

[@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer]

As a former dog groomer and long-time Doctor Mike fan, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen! I can't think of anything important he left out as far as tips for grooming your dog at home. Oh, I guess I'll add one - don't cut mats out with scissors!!! Anyway, the fact that he could pay somebody else to groom Bear but decided to just do it himself because he considers it bonding time is easily my new favorite thing about Doctor Mike!

I have a female chocolate newfie named Sophie and she's pretty much the exact same with grooming (except for the ears, when I have to do the actual liquid wash in them she runs away from me). I used to use a dremmel, but then I found out that she'll literally just stand there and let me clip her nails without any fuss (we always played with her paws as a puppy). She does also love to eat the toothpaste. We like to call her a micro newf though since she's only between 100-110lbs (also very lean and muscular, so very healthy). I love seeing people who know how to groom Newfs well!
