As someone who owns a senior, arthritic Newfie, their comfort is more important than their coat. I keep my girl clipped to an inch length now and it is very apparent how much better she and her joints feels with a shorter coat.
-
11 years is positively ancient for such a huge dog. It really speaks for his owners.
-
He looks like Eeyore during his blowdry! What a sweet old gentleman. Thank you, Vanessa and his pet parents, for putting his comfort first.
-
Win-Win. The dog is much more comfortable, and the groomer has enough fur to make her own Newfie.
-
When a dog gets old, I stop caring about their double coat. Shaving can bring them so much happiness more comfort, and will extend the time between grooms, which decreases stress. He feels better at the end, and that’s all that matters. ❤
-
11 is old for a large dog. A double coat is beautiful, but hes now at a point in his life where its to much for him. Glad to see hes got owners who put his comfort first. Thank you for doing this for this old boy....
-
It looks like you're shaving a bison. Thanks for taking good care of this old man.
-
Vanessa is a straight up advocate for the rights and dignity of disabled dogs and I am here for it
-
Our older Golden had a neurological condition that led to him struggling to breathe a lot of the time - and he really struggled with heat. Shaving him down made a huge difference in his comfort. It was sad to lose his beautiful coat - but it made a huge difference for him.
-
I still can't get over the fact that Vanessa always has such pretty nails given the fact they're constantly being exposed to water, soap, and scratching dogs. Props to her nail tech!!
-
I have never wanted to hug a dog more in my life! He is just so sweet and exhausted looking at the same time. The way he holds his head down pulls at my heart. It’s heartwarming just how accommodating and compassionate his owners are. ❤
-
We had a half Newfie, half Saint Bernard for 13 years. She was, bar none, the sweetest, most gentle souled dog I have ever known. Loved her so much!
-
I appreciate the education you give us while grooming your clients. You are very compassionate with the animals
-
Him keeping his head down like that reminds me of Eeyore 🥺 He is so beautiful, and it is so much more important to keep him comfortable than maintain his double coat <3
-
I miss my newfie. The best friend I've ever had.
-
Older, heavy, lots of wrinkles & Very Arthritic. I can so relate to Cabot. Thank you for being so considerate of him. 11 is ancient for a dog that big.
-
We have a 17 year old pom mix. He may be arthritis, be blind, deaf, and only have a few teeth. His entire life he has hated a comb and brush. He has a double coat. But due to how his entire life he wanted to eat me alive. We found a compassionate groomer whom he trust. And she finally said a hair trim was the best. And it has been a godsend. When a groomer has the compassion for the pet. It makes.all the difference. Thank you for caring for this senior gentleman.
-
Not only in shaving him down you are saving him the pain and hassle from having regular grooming, but as someone who used to have long hair and after it being cut off and the lack of weight made it feel like my head was going to float off my shoulders, so, not having to lug around the weight of all that fur, must also be of some relief to his poor joints too.
-
I love that his name is Cabot. Perfect Newfoundland name for a lovely Newfie boy!
