Trimming Your Dog’s Nails

Dog nail clippers

Giving your family dog a bath – not a problem. More than likely cleaning your dog’s teeth wouldn’t be an issue. But trimming doggie’s nails, no way! Ok, listen up. This can be done. It’s not nearly as challenging or terrifying as it appears.

Claw trimming in dogs can be done easily enough if you understand how. It may be beneficial to watch someone else (vet, groomer or friend) who is skilful in nail trimming demonstrate first. Some dogs won’t need to have their nails trimmed. Many will naturally wear the nails down or the dried up ends of the nails will merely flake away without you even being aware. But certain breeds, in particular Basset Hounds and Dachshunds may need your assistance with keeping the toe nails moderately short. As much as you’ll never want to, you might as well just count on cutting a nail too short on occasions. It just happens at times, even with experienced groomers. The nail will bleed if you cut it too short, so just be ready for that eventuality.

Get yourself a good pair of dog nail clippers. Ask a veterinarian or the staff in the pet shop which sort they suggest. Place the primary part of the trimmer in the palm of your hand and the moveable part is controlled by your fingers. You need to be able to see the small cutting blade which slides when you squeeze the handle.
