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. 😊
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!
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 😂
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 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
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🥰
@@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.
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.
Vanessa chase is literally bigger than you. I love the way he kept rolling his eyes looking up at you like, good grieve lady ! Enough is enough ! Lol. Such a sweet, gentle giant ! Beautiful
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) 👏
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.
It's like hearing from a person who makes $700.00 per hour, telling a person who makes $25.00 an hour, to go tell a person who makes $7.50 an hour, dogs are important too, and thank you for remaining teachable! Thanks Chase for sharing!
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.
Thanks for breaking down the cost/pay received by groomers when working on dogs this size. It's very humbling to see how costly this work is, both physically and mentally. God bless you for your dedication and love for these pets.

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.

@@rogue7723😂. And getting a shot haired dog?
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! ❤
“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" ?
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!
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!
😂😂
Thanks for giving me a laugh!
😂❤
😅😅😅
😂😂❤
What a beautiful boy. Thank you for being so gentle with him. Every one I’ve ever known is just the sweetest thing.
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?
Washing a Newf means warning FEMA and getting sandbags. What a love he is.
😂😂
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

Thanks for sharing the costs of grooming . Great video.
I love you so much. Arthur here, at the IU cancer center ❤❤❤❤❤
Love how you don't bother glamourising yourself - you don't need to - beauty shines! 🌟
Goodest boy ever!
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
He's gonna shake, RUN
Above and beyond Vanessa.Thank you!
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.
What a very healthy 9 year old newfie!! Kudos to the owners and breeder!
He was so chill, what a good boy!
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🥰
What a sweet handsome boy! Thank you for helping him by shaving the mats.
I just came up with your nickname. Vanessa The Magnificent! You are Indeed the Best Groomer on Utube. 😊
It’s Floof Mountain
🥰
To borrow from the KC and The Sunshine Band's hit song:
Shake Shake Shake! Shake Your Newfie! 😂
Love it! 🤣
😂😂😂
He is such a laid back big hearted big baby ❤ What a dog. Your amazing with him Vanessa 💕
So adorable. Big lump of fuzzy cuteness
Aww , thank you for taking on this groom . He really needed it . What a sweet boy !
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. 😂❤
That's a well behaving elephant seal with fur
1:39 He is enjoying that soap massage so much, look at him closing his eyes there! Love a newfie!
What a glorious boy & so sweet ❤
Thank you for helping him get all clean & handsome.
I love how exclusive your salon is! "No humans beyond the point." ❤️❤️❤️ Chase is adorable 🥰
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.
@@Yesica1993 Stick with stuffed pets, much easier.

@@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.
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.
That face at 2:59❤❤
I don’t know why but I always love seeing your tiny hands holding their massive paws!
That is some hard work for both of you.
Oh boy! 100 lb 5ft woman grooming that huge dog…big job
6:45 Big dogs make the BEST pillows... you both look too cute!🥰
Vanessa chase is literally bigger than you. I love the way he kept rolling his eyes looking up at you like, good grieve lady ! Enough is enough ! Lol. Such a sweet, gentle giant ! Beautiful
His expressions could write a story. ❤
What a dignified older gentleman who must feel as well as look so much better after his spa day. Great work Vanessa! ❤❤❤
Wow big dog,I can't even imagine all the work you do,congratulation on your efforts
What a sweetie 😊🐕💚
Chase, what a giant of a dog. He behaved very well for a big guy. He turned out beautiful ❤️.
BIG FLOOF!
Vanessa you laying down on Chase was adorable! Thank you for sharing this beautiful big floofs with us! ❣
What a beautiful dog, he was very quiet.
Three days to recuperate works out to about 50 cents per hour.
"No human clients beyond this point" sign is placed on the dog-level height. Means "dont bring your hoomans with you, be brave"
What an awesome and totally sweet boy! My kinda move-being too tired to shower and just laying in it🤣🐶❤️!
Like always you did a wonderful job🎉
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) 👏
Well, done both of you!
Such a lovely pooch!
When you took a rest on him, it just warmed my heart! Such a sweet boy and such a beautiful human you are! ❤
Your ideas are always fresh and original. Thank you for the inspiration!😵🤗🤝
Appreciate your hard work, Vanessa and Team.

chase a sweet adorable cuddly bear of a dog. He is such a good boy, and you did a great job on him.
What a stunning dog with an amazing character. He’s a dream ❤
Newfies are giant floofy teddy bears that deserve all the love, treatos, and belly-rubs we can give.
Yes, this dog is magnificent ! And so kind and patient! Beautiful work young lady! You are fantastic! 🌈🌈👍👍👼👼💕💕
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 …
what good care given
What a glorious, sweet boy! Thank you for explaining the challenges of taking on such an arduous grooming job! Much respect! 👍
I was just thinking about getting a Newfoundland, and then I saw this!
I just love dogs of all types but I couldn't handle extra drooly ones to live with
So much slobber
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
You are one in a million. So sweet when you and Chase took a mindful moment 😊
Oh to catch girl with the dogs 4 mins after upload
Gentle giant. So well behaved and patient.
good thing this breed is generally calm and tolerant
I really enjoyed his facial expressions and his eyes were so telling.
It's like hearing from a person who makes $700.00 per hour, telling a person who makes $25.00 an hour, to go tell a person who makes $7.50 an hour, dogs are important too, and thank you for remaining teachable! Thanks Chase for sharing!
So sweet...he's a good boy.❤❤❤
I love Newfis but I don't think I could ever have one due to the absolute size. I do enjoy seeing them though. Thanks!
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.
Vanessa you are a star! Glad you had a few days recuperation. What a terrific job you did on Chase. 🥰 Judie
What a gorgeous animal! My heart feels for him. Only being 9 and already old!
Blows my mind, I have a 8 year old guinea pig boy still going strong (he ancient but still). Their size surely diminishes live expectancy
Life expectancy is typically 8 -10 years. Great Danes 7-10 years.
@@kleinshui9082Wow, that is old for a guinea pig.
What a lovable, beautiful oaf! ❤❤
What a precious boy ❤
what a big beautiful friendly bear! I just want to give him a big bear hug 🥰
Great job as always Vanessa!😊
Loved the break down you showed. Your videos are the best.
I love how he was napping while you were working so hard.
sweet newfie, even in his age he was a good boy and did his best for the groom.
Thanks for breaking down the cost/pay received by groomers when working on dogs this size. It's very humbling to see how costly this work is, both physically and mentally. God bless you for your dedication and love for these pets.
Such a handsome and well behaved doggo
My hats off to you 🎩👒⛑️
Chase is lucky to have you this day💋🐾🐾✌️🤡😉🫶🏼❣️
Newfies are massive dogs with many care issues. Beautiful guy🙏🐾🐾💋💋💋💋💋🤠😇❣️
He is so sweet. Cute
Super work, thank you
my dad brushed his 150 lb Newfoundland every couple of days and would get bags of fur every time!
Beautiful dog, you was so well behaved ❤
