How To Trim Your Dog’s Nails

April 25, 2022

An important aspect of dog grooming is trimming your dog’s nails. While a routine trip to the groomer also comprises nail trims, sometimes Saul’s nails may be overgrown and you may have to do it yourself. This is how to make this happen step by step:

  • The first step is to gather your supplies 
  • Up next, gently pick up the foot 
  • Isolate the nail that you want to cut
  • Select the precise place you want to cut
  • Do the cutting at a 45-degree angle 
  • Chip it off in bits
  • Remember the dewclaws 
  • Nail grinding (use as a finishing tool)
  • Reward your pet 

It is important to note that a dog’s nail comprises the outer material known as the shell, which is hard and the living pink quick. The quick runs through the core of the nail and supplies blood. To ensure your dog’s wellbeing and guarantee easy maintenance, short quicks are the recommended length. 

Similarly, if you are cutting your puppy’s nails for the first time, you would have to go very slow, starting with picking up the paw, isolating the nail, getting your pup familiar with the trimmer (especially if there is any vibration involved), cutting only a tiny chip initially. All of these would have to be done over a period of time to aid easy adjustment. 

If your dog feels uncomfortable, it is best to retreat or you might have to eventually use a muzzle. In the way of products, there is a range of nail trimmers comprising scissors as well as grinder tools specially designed for dogs. The main thing is to use what works best for your pet. Also, styptic powder should be kept close in case of bleeding. 

Conclusion 

Trimming your dog’s nails can be quite the task, so remember to be patient and reward Saul with treats too.
