Newfoundland dogs have a very thick coat that needs to be brushed at least once weekly, with a wide toothed comb. They also will need to have their nails clipped once a week, unless they get walked on pavement every day.

GREAT dog, congratulations! Follow the regular protocol for shots and vet care. Thoroughly brush at least once a week with a wide tooth comb or curry to get down through the undercoat. Newfs don't require huge amounts of exercise, but LOVE and need to swim. Don't overbathe so as not to remove the oily sheen that protects their coat.
