Good questions
Before you begin.
How often should my dog's nails be clipped?
Most dogs need clipping every three to six weeks. If you hear clicking on hard floors, the nails are probably long.
What if my dog hates having its feet touched?
Start with short, relaxed handling at home and reward calm paws. A groomer can go slowly and use a file instead of clippers.
Is it safe to clip dark nails?
It needs care because the quick is hard to see. Small, slow clips are best, and a groomer or vet can help.
Can I tidy paw hair myself?
Round-tipped scissors can help, but take care with fidgety dogs. A groomer can do it quickly and safely.
