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.
