Nail Trimming Your Dog
The key to easy nail trimming is to trim small amounts of your pet’s nails weekly. The very end of the nail is the only part that doesn’t have a blood supply or feeling. Therefore, trim small amounts of the nail at one time to avoid discomfort to your pet.
Dog and cat nails are continually growing and if not worn off need to be trimmed. Too long a nail forces the foot to rotate backwards, contributing to several structural damages such as flat or turned outward feet. Indoor dogs especially need to have their nails trimmed often as they don’t exercise as much. If your dog’s claws snag cloth or people it’s a sign to trim the nails.
Instructions:
Hold your pet’s foot firmly but gently and make sure he or she is calm before starting to trim. Hold the nail clipper so that the blade is on top and the blade release lever is on the bottom. Slip your pet’s nail upward through the hole and trim just the tip, making sure you trim only about 1/8″ of nail. Trimming too much will cause your pet pain and bleeding. If your pet has colored nails, you will see the “quick” and will be able to avoid cutting it. If your pet has black nails, and the “quick” is not visible, seek the advice of your veterinarian or professional groomer.
