Haircut day can be a big one for a lot of dogs out there. Some truly love all of the pampering and the undivided attention… and some would rather do anything besides go to the groomer. There usually isn’t much in between (or at least, that’s what I’ve gathered between all the dogs I’ve raised and known over the years).
But in the end, many dogs are happy to show off how dapper they look with a fresh haircut, and the Newfoundland in the TikTok video below is most certainly one of them.
This video from @homerthenewf shows precious Homer looking very handsome in his blue bandana before he poses sweetly for the camera to let all of his followers see his new haircut.
It’s impressive that his mom was the one to give him a haircut, because he really does look good!
The comments were flooded with compliments from Homer’s fans, letting him know just how good he looks. One person wrote, “I’m thinking maybe a top hat and a monocle, he would then be a very dapper gentleman,” and I absolutely agree.

Grooming a Newfoundland
It’s true that Newfoundlands do have a lot of fur, but the good news is that keeping them professionally groomed isn’t going to take over your entire life.
Groomers Professional recommends bringing your pup to the salon about every six to eight weeks, but in between, you should be brushing them at home, typically once a week to avoid them having skin issues or matted fur due to how quickly they do shed.
The site also points out that even in the summer, you don’t want to shave your Newfoundland, since their coats are actually what regulates their body temperature and helps them stay cool when it’s hot outside.
It’s not just their fur you should be taking care of, though — they will also need regular nail clipping done (either by a professional or a parent) so that they can stay healthy and on their feet without discomfort.
