Trimming Dog Nails
(Part One)

Trimming an animal’s nails is essential to its grooming routine.  Untrimmed nails leave dogs vulnerable to painful broken nails.  Ingrown nails are also a danger when nails are not properly maintained.   

If your dog’s nails click against hard floors, they are too long.  After learning a few simple rules, you’ll find that trimming your dog’s nails is very much like clipping your own.

Be sure to only trim the excess length and always avoid nerves and blood vessels.  This will ensure a painless trim process.
