Introduce the dog to the clippers and dont make a big deal about it. FFS its clipping nails not heart surgery. Use a file if your scared to clip them. 1 Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Never have a problem with tick's and i do my own dog's nail's regular..on the vet's subject my bro had a old little terrier that would nearly have a fit through getting that worked up when his nail's needed doing and he had to take it to the vet's every time they needed doing.. ionce tried to do them and the poor dog nearly had a heart attack and was frothing at the mouth.. My terrier goes nuts when I try cutting her nails. Last time I tried she screamed and tried nipping me, the wife screamed at me for hurting her, I screamed at the fecking wife that I didn't hurt her, then the three year old screamed that we were all hurting his ears, so bollocks to cutting the terriers nails again, if it needs doing she's off to the vet!

Millet 4,497 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 cos i would have cut to much off thats why she went to the vets It's not hard to cut too much of especialy with black or dark nail's as it is hard to see the quick/vein..personaly i don't think there is anything wrong with going to the vet's if you are not confident in cutting them...i know of several people who can't bring them self's to doing there dog's nail's..but like i say i do my own dog's when needed and my older dog has dark nail's and he does not get out as much.. i often hit the quick on his nails but they sharp stop bleeding..

Moll. 1,793 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I can stitch a dog, restrain a dog, even fight tooth for tooth with a dog, but cutting nails is the thing i hate the most. I always get white toed dogs if i can for that very reason When friends come to visit they always get asked to cut the dogs nails for me Quote Link to post
