How To Trim Your Dogs' Nails

How To Cut Your Dogs' Claws

Keeping a dogs’ nails trimmed shouldn’t be an intimidating task for either you or your pet. Not only does keeping their nails trimmed keep you and your property safe from unnecessary scratches, it is important for their everyday living to not let the nail grow too long. For most dogs, having overgrown nails can interfere and even be painful when walking.

Trimming the nails of your pet can be as simple as trimming your own nails. Just be aware that dogs have a vein inside the nail called the quick that can bleed when cut into.
