Does his coat need regular grooming?
Yes ! Newfoundland are a very highly maintenance breed. The thick coat needs regular raking and brushing, especially during seasonal shedding. A brushing each week will keep your dog’s coat in good condition, will eliminate tangles and mats. There is no excuse for an unkept Newfoundland. With out regular grooming and brushing you could end up with a Newfoundland who will have skin complaints, ear infections, weepy eyes, swollen feet. Air needs to circulate through the hair right down to the skin and if it is knotty this cannot happen.
