Trimming Dogs’ Nails, an Essential Part of Dog Grooming

Neatly trimmed dog nails doesn’t just look good, it ensures your pet can position his toes and paws to stand and walk correctly and without pain. Regularly trimmed dogs’ nails are also much less likely to break, split or get torn out by snagging in clothing and other materials.

However, many dogs are initially reluctant to have their nails trimmed and many dog owners feel apprehensive about doing the nail trimming themselves. In addition, there is often the fear of causing pain by accidentally cutting into the quick.

But there is no need to worry! With the right choice of trimmer, some persistence, and the information put together by Trimming Dogs’ Nails, there is no reason why you shouldn’t successfully trim your pet’s nails at home!

As a general rule, dogs’ nails need to be trimmed every 2-4 weeks. By doing it yourself, rather than taking your pooch to the vet’s or the grooming salon, you will most certainly save both time and money.
