Hello!
Hi, I’m Jen! I’m so happy you found us.
I’m a longtime Newfoundland owner who grooms and shows my own dog, Lou. I’ve learned from hands-on experience what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to grooming Newfies. The coat care guides that I’ve created for each season were made to share those lessons in a simple and low-stress way so that you can be confident when grooming your own Newf.
The No-Stress Winter Grooming Guide For Newfoundlands
I’ve lived with and groomed Newfoundlands for years, and I’ll be the first to admit that I made winter grooming far more complicated than it needed to be. I brushed more. I worried more. I followed advice that didn’t always make sense for a functional winter coat. And I still dealt with mats, skin issues due to moisture and odor.
What I eventually learned is that my winter grooming problems weren’t caused by lack of grooming, they were caused by not understanding how a Newfoundland’s coat works in the colder months.
This guide exists because winter grooming doesn’t need to be stressful, overwhelming or constant. It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing the right things, at the right time, for a coat that’s designed to protect your dog during cold, wet weather.
This isn’t a professional grooming manual, and it’s not meant to make you feel like you’re behind. It’s a real-life guide based on what actually works for me and my dogs. It was created to help you feel more confident in your grooming abilities and to simplify it.
Simple routines to prevent mats, manage moisture and keep your Newfoundland’s coat working the way it’s meant to in the winter.
