Can you shave a Newfoundland?

No, you can’t shave a Newfoundland. Well, you technically can, but it’s not recommended. The Newfoundland’s thick double coat serves as insulation and helps regulate their body temperatures in both hot and cold weather. Shaving their coat disrupts this natural insulation and could lead to potential skin issues, sunburn, and other problems. If you’re concerned, consult with a professional groomer or veterinarian for advice on how to properly care for a Newfoundland’s coat without resorting to shaving.
