Hey Ting1SF, I see you live in San Francisco. I live up in Novato and we love the vet and groomer that we take our Newf Drake to. I know it might be a bit of a drive, but if you are really looking for a quality vet and groomer, it might be worth the trip. Our vet is Dr. Jim Coddington, his clinic is called the Country Vet which is located in Novato. He absolutely LOVES animals. The first time we took Drake to him, he got down on his knees and let Drake lick his face. He really wants to get to know his "patients" before he begins prodding and probing them. As for our groomers, we go to "Doggy Styles" (yes that's their name) and they do such a great job. Newfies are very hard dogs to groom and they do an absolutely top notch job. They are located in Mill Valley which isn't too far from the city. I'm sure there's good vets and groomers in San Fran but I don't know about any of them. These are the one's I can suggest and if you're willing to make the drive, they are really awesome!!!
