How to cut pet dog’s nails? Before cutting nails for the first time, let the dog become familiar with the paw-holding action, so that it will be easier when cutting nails. Different pet nail clippers are also different, so you should adjust it according to your own needs. Depending on the size of the dog, choose the right nail clippers; hold the dog's paw, and then use the nail clippers to cut the dog's nails. Be careful not to cut the nail flesh, as it will bleed.

Grip claw

Let the dog get used to this action from an early age, and increase the time and intensity of holding the paw every day. If your dog is used to you stroking its little paws, it means that your dog is ready for nail trimming.

There are mainly three types of scissors on the market, one is scissor-shaped, the other is knife-shaped like a circle, and the third is an electric sharpener. Although the nails are more beautiful and have no edges, , Dogs generally don’t like the sound of electric sharpeners. If the dog moves around, it will hurt other places. In addition, when choosing nail clippers, the size of the nail clippers should be selected according to the size of the dog.

Dogs are usually afraid of cutting their nails. Some will collapse immediately when they see the nail clippers, and some will keep moving. For such dogs, we can solve the problem by feeding them. You can eat delicious snacks when the nail clippers touch the paws. I believe many dogs will also fall in love with nail clipping.

Cutting nails

It is easiest to cut white and transparent nails. Just cut them about two millimeters away from the nail flesh. Do not cut into the nail flesh. The nail flesh is where the blood and nerve cells of the nail are concentrated. To put it bluntly, it is the pink part of the nail. Do not cut it. If you accidentally cut it, it will hurt! It will bleed! This is why many dogs are afraid of having their nails cut. The owner needs to take a bath and change clothes, find a good angle, put on glasses, and cut carefully!

For owners of dogs with black nails, you should be more careful! Because black nails cannot see where the live flesh is, so you need to cut from the nail bit by bit and slowly inward. When you see small gray or pink dots appearing in the cross section of your nails, you should stop. If you continue to trim, you will cut the nail flesh.

Some dogs have dangling toes on their thumbs, so don’t forget to trim them. When the nails are not in contact with the ground, the dangling toes will be longer than other nails. Some dogs' dangling toes are extremely loose and will swing around. In this case, it is best to remove them surgically during neutering to prevent the dog from getting caught on things and getting injured.

The dog’s foot pits are easy to get dirty and injured, so care must be taken here. When cleaning, wash the toes with warm water, and the area from the foot socket to the toes. If there are wounds, disinfect them in time. The fur on the foot pits of long-haired dogs should be shaved as short as possible so that they will not be slippery when walking.
