THIS PAGE WILL EXPLAIN WHY YOU MIGHT CLIP A NEWF DOWN.BEFORE CHOOSING TO DO SO IT IS HIGHLY ADVISABLE TO FIRST CONSULT WITH YOUR VET AND THAN A GROOMER WHO REALLY KNOWS THEIR BREEDS. MANY GROOMERS DONT DO BIG DOGS ANYMORE. KEEP IN MIND THIS WEBSIGHT HAS INFORMATION ON WHAT I DO FOR ***MY*** DOGS. IT IS WHAT WORKED BEST FOR ***MY*** DOGS. IT IS UP TO YOU TO DO THE RESEARCH AND TALK TO PEOPLE KNOWLEGEABLE IN THE BREED ***IN PERSON**** WITH THAT SAID I WILL GO ON TO HOW I GOT INTO GROOMING AND THE REASONS THAT I CHOSE TO CLIP DOWN 2 OF MY NEWFS.

THE GRAY PUPPY PICTURED HERE IS THE INSPIRATION FOR MY GROOMING PROFESSION. THIS GRAY IS A LEATHER EARED GRAY NEWFOUNDLAND,.SHE ENDED UP GETTING TONNS OF HEALTH PROBLEMS AND A REALLY BAD THYROID. FOR THAT SHE HAD A REALLY HARD TO KEEP UP COAT. I GROOMED HER EVERY DAY  FOR 3 HOURS A DAY. IF I MISSED A DAY  IT WAS VERY HARD TO CATCH UP BECOUSE OF THE MATTING AND THE HOTSPOTS SHE GOT ON A REGULAR BASIS.WHEN SHE WAS AGE 5, I GOT A JOB AT A VET CLINIC, THE VET THAT I WENT TO ADVISED ME TO CLIP HER DOWN. AS THE WORK I WAS PUTTING INTO KEEPING HER COMBED OUT,  WAS NOT ENOUGH TO KEEPING HER HOTSPOTS AWAY AND THE BAD SKIN. WITH THE CLIPDOWN I NOTED HUGE IMPROVEMENT IN HER SKIN AND HER OVERALL ATTITUDE. SHE WAS HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER. I ALSO STARTED CLIPPING DOWN MY SAMPSON. BECOUSE AT AGE 5, I DID HIS THYROID PANEL BECOUSE HE WAS BREAKING OUT IN SORES, AND HIS COAT WAS CHANGING FOR THE WORSE, ENDED UP HIS THYROID WAS BAD. SO IN ORDER TO KEEP HIM HEALTHY AND HAPPY I CLIPPED HIM DOWN, NOW ***MY*** DOGS THAT I CLIPPED DOWN ,DID NOT CHANGE IN COAT BEING THAT THE UNDERCOAT AND TOPCOAT WERE THE SAME AS THEY WERE BEFORE I STARTED CLIPPING THEM DOWN. BUT...................... SOME DOGS WILL CHANGE IN TEXTURE MEANING, THICKER OR THINNER. IN BOTH OF MY DOGS CASES ,I DID NOT CARE IF THE COAT TEXTURE CHANGED BECOUSE OF THE FACT THE UPKEEP AND THEIR SKIN IMPROVED FOR THE BETTER. THEY DID NOT SUFFER BEING COLD AND THEY DID NOT GET SUNBURNED.IF A DOG IS HAVING SKIN PROBLEMS AND COAT PROBLEMS, DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGIES AND FOOD ALLERGIES ,THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING MEDICALLY TO IMPROVE THEIR CONDITION I DO FOR MY CUSTOMERS, AS A LAST RESORT CLIP THEIR DOGS DOWN, THE SKIN IS HEALTHIER BECOUSE IT HAS AIR TO BREATHE, THE SKIN SHOWS GREAT IMPROVEMENTS IF DONE ON A REGULAR YEAR ROUND BASIS. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM BY TRYING CORN FREE DOG FOOD FIRST BEFORE GOING THE ROUTE OF CLIPPING THEIR COATS, A GOOD GROOMER WILL GO OVER ALL AVENUES WITH YOU
