Bear is my Newfoundland that lives with me in my apartment in NYC. While his size and amount of floof might be adorable and lovable, it makes keeping him clean and hygenic a very difficult process. Every few weeks I sit down with Bear and spend hours making sure he's well groomed, from bathing, to shampoo, to soap, then brushing his teeth, trimming his nails, trimming his fur, and the exhaustive process of drying him out. I wanted to share this bathroom ritual with all of you so you could see just how challenging it is to groom my floofy in NYC, but also teach you some helpful tips about caring for your pets should you find yourself with a dog to groom someday.

Bear is the most calm dog I’ve ever seen while grooming
Newfoundland's are known for being calm. In Peter Pan, Nana is actually a Newfoundland. I love these dogs (and Leonbergers) but it's just SO. MUCH. HAIR.
Newfoundland dogs were bred to help fishermen iirc so it's not rare seeing them so calm getting wet
My dogs be barkin and wigeling
The video I watched before this was from dogsbylogan of him washing his poodle puppy. Raiku is so well behaved it's a true gem.
The bigger the dog the more seriously people (tend) to take the training of that dog. That’s why tiny dogs are the worst.
Dr. Mike went to another level of attractiveness seeing him loving and caring for his dog the way he did. OMG My heart melts!
Absolutely true!
bro mike is like 40..
why do you have a crush on him?
weirdo..
@@xanmantheman why does it matter how old someone is?? for all you know they could be the same age, so i dont get how you could possibly think its weird?
@@xanmantheman he’s 34 not 40 if you’re gonna judge someone at least get the age right 😑
@@xanmanthemanthey ment that they love his love for animals
I love the way Bear just looks at Dr. Mike when he explains everything he is going to do next hahaha, like he is genuinely paying attention, what a good dog
I did NOT expect his bark to sound so tiny 😂😂
my thoughts exactly 😂😂 i expected like a big booming bark 😭 but it was just "ruff! 😀"
Was probably just being gently answering 😂 like high pitched
10:03 and 10:48 for anyone wondering

Fr it's just "RWOOF" but smol
Dr Mike and Bear having the most healthy human-dog relationship 😭
I always did the grooming of my dogs by myself. It was hard, but at the same time I learned a lot and created a sens of trust and a great human/dog relationship with them. I can relate so much to this. Bear show us all the good side of having pets in our day to day life. You stop the time, and you just switch the mode: taking care of a being with love and compassion. More People should start doing this. ♡♡♡
Right. It’s so cute
U mean human and bear relationship
y u sad :/
Ikr
when mike was telling bear what he was gonna do, bear was listening so intently its adorable
His dog is too cute and cuddly. 🥰
So chill, and always gives kisses.
Hi
Gotta say, after 10 years as a vet tech, I’m impressed.
Dr. Mike is DEF not a veterinarian, but that dog is more well groomed than 99% of patients I’ve seen.
And now my need for a Newfie has returned.
Lol I love newfs too
But the drool factor…
@@Dharmarenee drool would get everywhere! Constant cleaning 🤣
Everybody need a newfie in their life. Floofy
@@Dharmarenee drool is nothing compared to what I’ve experienced 😂
As a groomer...I'm sooo impressed and happy that you do such a thorough grooming on him😊😊😊😊
😱😱🤨🤔😳
As a groomer? 💀💀
@@governorgoujonshane dawson but dog edition 😭
Wow you did a full groom as a groomer I’m so impressed! Bear is such a good boy as well I love getting dogs like bear they make the job so enjoyable: ❤❤
He's ready to be married off
I'm a dog groomer, and $600 is quite insane. Where I work, we charge about $85 for these kinds of dogs lmao. It's a lot of work but you did well :D
85??? hell no! add 100 onto that for an extra large dog with a long double coat!
My dog groomer charges $65-85 for my chi so I would say $600 is normal especially in NYC with his dog. It's just better to do it yourself unless you really don't have the time.
@@imdone8645 I have a maltese and it costs $60 and the lady comes to my house and cleans up after. I guess bigger dogs are more?
@@junosgladius yes, the bigger the dog the more it costs. 60 is quite reasonable for a maltese.
$210 for each of my Field Spaniels; bus comes to my driveway. But that’s for the full grooming. Not sure what they would charge for a bath and blow-out only
As a dog groomer it’s great to see that you actually took the time to learn how to care for your dog’s coat! You did a great job !!
bear yawning and constantly trying to give kisses while his dad explains what he’s gonna do made me giggle. he’s such a sweet, giant, teddy bear. :)
@@roter13 pause
@@roter13 ✋🏼😳 girl I-
Ok that dogo is adorable
It's really cute but the yawning is a sign of I don't like what is happening and the licking is a sign of you're too close I'm uncomfortable but I trust you and will submit so please don't hurt me. It's not that he's scared of his Dr Mike or anything, he's just letting him know hey this isn't fun I'd rather not but if you insist I will because I trust you. Too many people miss dog yawning as a sign of discomfort and then are the first people to go Hey this dog big me without warning. No he warned you, you just missed it.
Do you need more dogs we have like a gazillion dogs ” and they’re totally not a pain in the butt“
Bear and Dr. Mike must be protected at all costs! Too sweet of a relationship.
*Dont_Read_My_Namess.* 😑
Ikr my Guinea pig’s name is bear and i think that’s part of the reason why I love this bear too💀
Bear is so cuddly, goofy and smooshy you'd think he never ages past 1 year!
@@GriffinZambia I wont bot :)
As a groomer I’m happy to see some solid grooming practices and advice. You and Bear have a great connection and a positive energy which makes grooming way easier. Not too sure about the kitchen shears to trim up the butt floof but still not the worst I’ve seen! 😅
I'm impressed that Bear stayed calm for the entirety of the bath AND that Doctor Mike actually does the bathing lol. I used to bathe my German Shepherd (my old apartment building has a dog grooming room on the ground floor) and it was absolute madness.
I’m a mobile dog groomer and I am honestly impressed. Kudos to you for investing in your pets grooming care and executing it so well.
Hi
whats the breed

Wait a minute... can we talk about the view out of that bathroom window?!?!??
Used to work as a dog bather at a grooming salon and loved to see everything handled and explained so well. Very nice job.
Facts! I thought I was the only one who noticed that 😆
Same here. Gorgeous views!
I stayed a whole minute appreciating that view like wtf
NO ONE wants to imagine the price of a condo that high up in NYC with that type of view. - mind blown --
Sameeeeee😢
Bear is so calm he’s just like a giant teddy bear. Can’t believe you did this for the whole day the patient you have got to give you credit
I like how Doctor Mike turns into a child mentally when he’s around bear. Bear makes him so happy and I love that.
As a doctor and a boxer (in addition to being a TH-camr and a social media content creator as well as a dog dad) Bear no doubt makes Mike happy as he has to save many lives as a doctor, prove his worth in the ring as a boxer, and make interesting content on TH-cam.
When vacuum cleaners go to Heaven, Bear is St. Peter barking about their good deeds.
HAHAHAHA
*Dont_Read_My_Names.*
שכ
5th but wth 😂
why is the chocolate rain guy here
The fact that Bear started grooming at daytime and lasted a whole day of just grooming until it is nighttime.. just the process of it. Wow
It could’ve been the evening when the sun was still out, but yeah this definitely took a while.
It's evening just look at the shadow and color of background
Take into account that he was also recording this. Set up and any retakes also eat up time =)
And the doctor complains about how much a groomer charges
@@dorkodestrukto He also said he likes doing it! $600 is a lot for anyone wouldn’t you say? $300 per hour? Dr. Mike prefers caring for and bonding with Bears I hope you’re ok with that.
As a dog trainer I love this! You’re so good at associating the bath with positivity. Cooperative care for the win! Great job with that sweet Newf, Dr. Mike
Omg! Bear is unbelievably adorable.❤ I have never seen a dog so relaxed, & calmed while getting groomed. You could tell is all the love, time, & communication you have with him. This is such a beautiful video. We need more Bear videos. L❤ved it!
As a dog groomer, I was pretty nervous to watch this, but I was so happy to see you doing everything so well! It was the educating your viewers on what you were doing and the potential harms of not doing things properly for me T-T
As a fellow groomer, same lol. I actually paused before clicking 😂
Do you really need to dilute shampoo? Or is it just the brand he used that needs to be diluted?
i'd like to see him go to girl with the dogs
Ngl the kitchen scissors made my heart stop for a second though
@@spadesofhearts7714 there are some shampoos that are concentrated and HAVE to be diluted and others that are already fine to use as is without the extra step; he mentioned that the one he's using is the concentrated kind and to keep an eye out for that when buying
As a dog groomer it makes me so happy to see someone so knowledgeable in the care of their dogs coat and skin! You can tell bear absolutely loves the attention of being groomed, it can be a great way to bond with your pup!
Same! This video made my dog groomer, and newfy mom heart happy!
I’m a groomer too and yes! But THE WAY HE USED THE SCISSORS! 😭😭 Lol. It doesn’t matter much since you can’t really see his rear but still I was like noooo you need thinners and don’t cut straight up 😂😂😂
@@byuftbl at this point I'm just glad he brushes 😂 let alone doing paw pads, trimming, desensitizing, ect. I'll take a line or two!
@@MelissaHillikerNPets hahaha right? It’s not super important but still…watching the scissors being used like that made my stress level go up a bit 🤣🤣
You’re so lucky he’s so calm while you’re handling him 🥰
I just love that Mike is such a dogowner, babytalking and blooping!
I really respect Dr. Mike for doing this himself. That's no easy feat!
@@L2002 it’s on his channel...?
@@chickennugget636 I’m decently sure means it’s bait for down bad people that wanna see a shirtless guy in a bath
I agree, SO much respect for how much time, care, and attention he gives Bear, especially with his schedule. He is a very high quality dog-dad
Molly Burke needs to see this video now that she has Elton John (a fluffy dog)!💘
Seriously, grooming a Newfie isn't for the feint of heart. Even for most groomers. Go Mike!
Dr. Mike!! I'm a dog groomer of 10 years and I have to say, you did a beautiful job explaining proper grooming routine for a large, double coated dog 🥰🐕 You covered all bases with no misinformation!! I know how you hate misinformation 😅
I was thinking the same thing. I was pleasantly surprised when he shaved Bear's paws. That's something that most people would have a difficult time getting done.
I have been grooming dogs for 0 years, and want to say how much I value you dog groomers. You guys go through a lot, and I thank you for your services.
sir…or ma’am….excuse me?
@@sleepy_marbles5696 yeah he’s been been growing a beard at his young age so I taught him how to shave it
@@Sam-yk9kh Ayo
Bear is such a great dog! He’s obedient, he jumped into the tub when Mike told him to get in it. He’s patient too, he didn’t get nervous during the bath. I love this Newfie.
-I loved the part of bear when he was playing dead then the LOUD PPEEWOOP SOUND CAME INTO EFFECT! LAMOOOO -THE HEARTBEAT AHHHHH
He's so calm this is my first time hearing him bark 🥰
As a vet student, seeing Dr. Mike treating his cute dog so well makes me really happy! You'd think that's common sense, but as someone who already works with domestic animals, human negligence to animal can really be stressing. Last week there was a poor dalmatian that died from having too many ticks. And it wasn't even his tutor who took him to the clinic, but actually the housekeeper. For a dog to die of ticks, it only means his tutors simply ignored it for too damn long. Animals really don't deserve this...
Wait ain't tics expensive to treat??? How do you ignore a dog? Like that!
@@Silver_wind_1987_ if you take care of your dog as you should, they are not expansive to treat. But with negligence, everything can double the price, as your dog has a high risk of passing away.
How can that poor dog get into such a state? Seriously some humans should not be animal owners. My dad was vigilant about giving my dog his worming tablet and flea/tic ointment, had it on the calendar and everything. I usually brushed the dog, but he wasn’t the biggest fan so did little and often. My dad would clip his nails, but as he was an all black German Shepard, it was hard to see where the end stopped so he had a few trips to the vets with a broken claw, and the vets would cut his other nails as well. (Sometimes it’s better to admit defeat and get professionals to do something). My dog had a ‘shower’ with a hose in the garden when he got stanky in the summer, and if he’d been in the fields, my dad would check for any tics etc. I thought we were doing the basic minimum but apparently not.
@W Mari I know. But we give our dog her flea and tick treatment. Heck she's due for a checkup soon. Ah the dreaded vet visits...Harley didn't like one vet he was a door knob and acted nervous around our dog...which made harley nervous and this absolute dumb@@@@ wanted to muzzle our dog for no reason. Mind you give her carrots and she's your best friend.
@@Silver_wind_1987_ my dog was such a drama Queen at the vets…until the treats came out. And he was only muzzled once because the vet wanted to see if he could fix the nail whilst my dog was still awake/slightly sedated and knew someone could get hurt….let’s keep the need for stitches for both human and drama queen German Shepards to the bare minimum 😂
The bond between you and Bear is heartwarming to see during the grooming session. 💜
This is my favourite video with you, Doctor Mike. So beautiful how you treat Bear. Speaks volumes about the kind of person you are 🥰😍♥
i love how you actually bothered to learn about dogs to help keep him happy and healthy. As a animal lover and dog trainer i have so much respect for you.
someone doing the bare minimum of what you should do with your animal making people very happy is sad
@@crusadertwo239 Sad thing is people aren't even doing the bare minimum .
Dr Mike, you should collab with Molly Burke again, Both Bear & Elton John!💘🐶 🦮
Me to
It's the first time I heared him bark. I would have suspected a much deeper voice for such a big fluff. So cute
*Dont_Read_My_Namess.* 😑
I admit I expected a deeper bark from him as well given his size.
bro.This dog is his child
He sounds like my friend's mini-doodle!
I think he barked on a previous video. It was actually lower than here, but I can't remember which video.
i love his bark, it was a bit surprising to hear, i didn't expect such a bark to come from such a big doggo
Bear is SO well behaved during grooming. You've obviously spent a LOT of time helping him feel comfortable being washed and groomed with all those tools. He's a wonderful dog and you're a great dog dad. You're both very lucky! ❤
It's not like just to see a very well behaved dog. There is a very rare connection between you two. A deep love that people around can easily feel.
Bear is so ridiculously cute and floofy! It’s wonderful to see you taking such good care of him. He’s the goodest boy, he is.
bear is one of the cutest giant floor balls I've ever seen and it definitely the most calm
He is the bestest boy. So patient and chill ❤❤❤
I love how he just gets in the tub without any issues.
I would recommend to those who like this the channel “girl with the dogs” she grooms a lot of big fluffy dogs like Bear here. Pretty satisfying and fun to watch. She gives a lot of fun facts and teaches a lot about dogs too.
She's a fellow Canadian and I am a huge fan!! She has an amazing channel!
YES
I love her!
Yesss agreed! Was thinking this the whole time
i do already! but thanks for the recommendation
I have a female chocolate newfie named Sophie and she's pretty much the exact same with grooming (except for the ears, when I have to do the actual liquid wash in them she runs away from me). I used to use a dremmel, but then I found out that she'll literally just stand there and let me clip her nails without any fuss (we always played with her paws as a puppy). She does also love to eat the toothpaste. We like to call her a micro newf though since she's only between 100-110lbs (also very lean and muscular, so very healthy). I love seeing people who know how to groom Newfs well!
10:03
bear has the cutest bark 😊❤❤
As a dog groomer I am so proud of you for actively learning how to care for your Newfie! Great dog dad alert!!!
As a vet, I have to admit is incredibly satisfying seeing Dr Mike doing this and taking so much care of all the super important "details" to take care of his skin and health
I love how Bear just listening to Dr. Mike it was just so cute!
He’s such a happy dog-you have such a great relationship with him! ❤
The view from the bathtub is so beautiful wow 😍 and btw can we talk about how well Bear is trained and well behaved 👏🏻
I feel like this is from Hudson Yard and I 100% agree, that view is amazing!
Ikr its actually sad how many people don't train their dog good because they treat it like a child. Bear is such a good example of a well trained dog. And hes the cutes floof i've ever seen
All dat TH-cam money
Agreed
Dr Mike is a total daddy
10:02 🥺 Awwhe.. His lil woof 😭
I love this! The fact that you're taking the time, attention, and love to groom your dog is awesome.❤❤❤
I just love how educated you are equally in veterinary medicine. You must be super attentive to your vet.
Bear will always have a special place in my heart. stay healthy!!!
*Dont_Read_My_Names*
@@GriffinZambia ok
I did NOT expect his bark to be so cute and high pitched!
Me either! He sounds like a little Chihuahua or something lol I was expecting his voice to be soooo much deeper lol 😂
somebody get a time stamp please
10:47 i found it
And 10:03!
I can’t decide what is better in this video. Dr. Mike being a lovely owner, Bear being absolutely perfect, or the view from that tub!
Super impressed by how knowledgable you are about your dog!
a maybe weird/cool curiosity: you can actually spin and knit domestic dog's fur into a wool like cloth, its called Chiengora, looking at the amount of fur bear lefts after bath i'm starting to think it would be a great business to make his own fur based mechandise 😆
Yes you can spin the fur. A friend of mine does.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Spin that floof! Would make a great yarn mixed with a little sheep.
the next line of "chest compressions" sweatshirts 🤣
what a cool idea. Evan and Katelyn recently made a cate toy from their cat Joobs fur. It was super cute. 🤣
Make mini Bears out of Bear genius!
Watch "girl with the dogs" . She's a groomer in Canada and you'll see some grooming tools you may need for Bear. Plus she's funny.
Yeah, she's great.
Love her ❤
So impressed with your care and knowledge! Something so calming and therapeutic when I groom my horse. Calms the emotions and your mind. Wow good job!
What a great relationship you have. Thanks for sharing.
You can tell how much you love Bear by how much you smiled as you groomed him in this video 🤩
*Dont_Read_My_Namess.* 😑
The most 4 parts I loved the most are-
1-Mike explaining each step to Bear
2-Upbeat background music
3-Bear's cooperation
4-Satisfying grooming appliances and grooming.
The fun part is brushing the teeth😂
5. That, judging by the light outside the window, it looks like this exercise took literally all day.
I just like the look of the good doctor
Man, doctor mike being wholesome with his dog is all i need in life tbh
I admire Bear for being so chill and Mike for taking the time to do all this with such a big and hairy dog. God knows if I had a dog like that, I'd simply take it to the groomer.
Their friendship is adorable, the way bear looks at Mike and the way Mike looks at him it's like aweh they're clearly bffs
I love how Dr. Mike clearly spent the time extensively educating himself about dogs, newfoundlands, and medical information surrounding them. Glad to see such a responsible pet owner.
I can tell he was super exited to film this video 😁 that just show how much he loves Bear.😍😍
This is some solid advice. Smart work, smart advice, good for pups. As a fellow newfie dad, you take really good care of him and I can tell he's happy and healthy. 10/10 great bonding time with the bear boy.
This is one of the best videos on dog grooming I've ever seen! Bear has a wonderful Daddy Xx
*Dont_Read_My_Names.*
I’m another dog groomer and I think we all can agree you do an amazing job on him!
Dog? Bro that is a brown bear IDK what your seeing.
honestly i think Dr. Mike is one of those people who is oddly good at everything lol
He is so calm and well behaved! Great Dog Dad!
Coming from the first video of bear to this one is amazing. He’s huge!
Bear is just as handsome and chill as his Daddy. What a good Doc and Dog combo! Loved this!
9:08 the most glamorous part of shaving a dog is PEWOOP
The sweetest video I've seen today
How fun to see you pampering him. How peaceful How gentle you are Mike
I enjoyed every moment of this video, you can see that you are Cesar Milan You can see that he appreciates and loves you back beaer He is so impressive, beautiful, noble and submissive, you see that you take good care of him, I could almost smell the shampoo, what an investment, I wouldn't mind being beaer for a few moments 🙂 And one last thing Mike, you're a lollipop
Bear is the most cutes calmest and understandable dog ever if I had a dog like this I would cry because of how CUTE HE ISSS
That is the most chill dog ever. I wish my cats would act like that when I attempt to bathe them.
Facts
It's in his biology! Newfoundland dogs were historically bred to be working dogs for fishermen. In addition to the oils in their fur to give them some degree of water resistance, they also have webbed feet, are extremely strong swimmers and generally love all things water. They are still used for water rescue today. Newfies are also typically very calm and chill dogs in general, and are great with kids.
My cats don't even let me be near them when water is running.
I don’t even know how u attempt to bathe an animal (dog/cat) I can’t go near my dog without 15 minutes of running please teach me! Lol
You shouldn't be bathing your cats anyway...
Cats are very clean creatures who clean themselves, and unless there is something in their fur (like they've rolled in grass and smeared a dead slug across their fur) then there should be no need for you to groom your cats. OR unless your cat has a case of fleas, OR is VERY old and unable to groom themselves.
Cats are desert creatures, meaning they originate from a place with very little water, and take it water from the food they eat. Bathing simply isn't a concern for them, and can actually be detrimental to their overall long term skin health (cats can easily react to shampoos and soap - even pet safe ones - and it can cause severe dry skin)
Brushing your cat is fine and actually recommended for older/longer haired cats because older cats find it harder to groom.
I love that he's so chill and comfortable with all this grooming! Now THAT is trust! What a pretty boy!
Bear is so chill about bath time!
This dog is amazingly patient with this process!! ❤
I’m a dog groomer and this is one of the best home grooms I have ever seen. Well done you. I do have a few tips if you want to make it even better and safer than it already is:
1) Get a deshedding tool, I would recommend the equigroomer. This will pull out so much more dead hair without damaging his top coat and leaves beautiful results!
2) When you trim him, instead of bouncing the scissors, keep your hand nice and still. This reduces the risk of injury to Bear, reduces fatigue for you and creates a cleaner cut. I’d also just invest in some cheap but decent doggy scissors!
Other than that, I honestly can’t really fault this groom at all. Home grooms terrify me, as we see the aftermath of the irresponsible ones (deep lacerations, major rashes and infection, severe matting because people only brush the top coat and shave downs on dogs like newfies which should only be the absolute last resort), so seeing this groom was lovely 💜 You’ve clearly invested a lot of time and money into ensuring Bear is well cared for and that you have the correct knowledge to groom him. Seriously, well done from England 💜🐾
very informative comment
Equigroomer would be better
Nobody cares Meg
Equigroomer is also used by @Girlwiththedogs (Vanessa in Canada) -- plus great extra tips!
is it just me or is dr. mike going to be the most amazing father someday?!

i love that it took so long to clean him it was dark when you were done
As a dog groomer, and a newfie, this was wonderful to watch
Man's just bonding with his dog on a deep level, really taking care of that big floof. Love to see it.
Explaining the entire process to Bear first, and his high five for consent was my favourite part 😭 and the constant drool 😭😭 he’s such a good boy!
Goodest boy and great bonding time.
The slicker brush with the click out eject is great. I had one I’d use on my sheltie. Immensely helpful with all the fluff
This was a fantastic video! Thank you for sharing!!
Hi I’m a dog groomer! I think this video is amazing at showing at home grooming. The only thing I would recommend is different brushing tools only to save your time. I find it’s much faster using a slicker brush, a deshedding rake, and a metal comb (for checking your work) is the best for brushing out super floofy dogs like yours without taking hours (I made this mistake too before). I also find if you can hold the dryer and brush gently at the same time it helps removing some fur. Everything you were doing (especially with blocking the blade from the dog with the dematting tool) is correct and great I just figured I’d share some time saving techniques with you 🥰❤️
Dr. Mike should collab with Girl With the Dogs
I second this. Really wish you had a nice quality comb!! Also, protect your ears while using the dryer. Otherwise really informative!
I’m rewatching this video again and I would also add that dogs can withstand a higher temperature water than expected. Obviously you shouldn’t use super hot water but having it be warmer then lukewarm is better because they’ll be less cold. Puppies need a higher temperature too
As a professional groomer, I really admire how knowledgeable you are and how much you care for Bear. Your little tips and tricks about pushing the nail out to see better, making sure not to leave moisture to prevent skin infections... You were very thorough with brushing his coat and so careful when doing the scary stuff like nails. Incredibly well done home groom :)
Really Dr mike is a diiferent person from everyone, the more i know him, the more i see him i am surprised how can a person be so beautiful and so kind, so good, so honest,so charming so childish, so intelligent, so cute... I like your sound 'ooppp'.. I respect you Dr Mike 💐🥰
I wass stressed all day but this helps me to chill a lil bit
We've got one dedicated furdaddy here! Such a fine example of how it is possible to still take GOOD care of your pets despite having a busy schedule. And I also love how Bear is just looking at Dr. Mike while he is explaining what he'll do. I wonder how much time Dr. Mike is taking to finish Bear's grooming to cleaning everything afterwards. 🤔
Bear needs an award for calmest dog during grooming and cutest dog ever 🎉🎉🎉
What a lovey teddy bear, he is very trusting...hugs foof
OMG he is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo chill with you bathing him how is that even possible
