Newfoundland Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Newfoundland at Home
Grooming a Newfoundland at home can feel like a big task because of their size and thick double coat, but with the right tools it becomes much easier. Newfoundlands have long, heavy coats that shed throughout the year and can form dense mats, especially behind the ears, under the legs and around the tail. A regular grooming routine keeps their coat healthy, reduces shedding and helps prevent uncomfortable tangles.
With high quality, quiet clippers from Masterclip, you can manage their coat confidently at home. Our clippers are designed for comfort and smooth handling, which makes the experience calmer for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Newfoundland?
A Newfoundland’s coat needs consistent care due to its length and density. Most owners find this routine works well:
• Brush at least three times per week to control shedding
• Full clipping every 8 to 12 weeks depending on coat condition
• Extra attention during seasonal shedding periods
This level of maintenance helps your Newfoundland stay clean, comfortable and free from trapped dirt or mats.
Basic Grooming Steps for Newfoundlands
• Start with a full brush through the coat to remove loose hair and tangles
• Use quiet and powerful dog clippers for the body and thicker areas
• Trim around the paws, ears and tail with grooming scissors for a tidy finish
• Always check the coat for hotspots, mats or debris before and after grooming

Frequently Asked Questions About Grooming a Newfoundland
How do I reduce shedding in my Newfoundland?
Regular brushing is the best way to manage shedding. During heavy shedding periods, daily brushing helps remove loose undercoat and prevents it from spreading through the home.
Should I shave my Newfoundland in summer?
Shaving is not recommended because their double coat protects them from heat and sun exposure. Instead, maintain regular brushing and light trimming to keep them comfortable.
How long does it take to groom a Newfoundland?
A full grooming session can take anywhere from one to three hours depending on coat condition, brushing frequency and your experience.
What blade length is best for Newfoundlands?
Many owners prefer medium length blades to thin and tidy the coat without cutting it too short. Blade choice depends on your preferred finish and your dog's coat type.
