For A Perfect Pooch Choose Guillotine Nail Clippers.

Dogs can have the need for a regular manicure probably more than humans do; hence the need for trimmers.

Overly long nails in humans are annoying but in dogs they can split and break causing bleeding paws.

Your dog’s paws need to be kept in tip top condition as he uses them all the time.

Does a tapping sound from your dog’s nails seem familiar? If so it’s time for a trim; so the next question is do you go to a pro or do you trust yourself or not to do it at home?

If you choose the DIY option, make sure you are prepared!

Invest in a high quality set of trimmers, and ensure you know exactly where to cut the nail.

If you try to cut corners you may end up cutting your dog’s paw by accident.

The quick is the area to watch for when you trim your dog’s nails, you should cut below this. It is easy with dogs with transparent or light coloured nails but harder with dark nails so take care!

Firstly let’s look at the equipment; Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers are a great solution, as they are designed with the user in mind with non-slip, low impact grip so your hand won’t get tired and you won’t lose your grip even if it’s wet. The sharp blades mean that trimming is easy and safe.

Next let’s look at the procedure for cutting nails.

Take your dogs paw in your hand firmly – it’s often best to have the dog tucked under your arm.

Push on the pad to extend the nail and trim the nail below the quick at a 45 degree angle. Trim only small amounts at a time.

Once the major clipping has been done, taking care not to trim the nails too short, check the edges for jagged or rough edges and tidy.

Really take care when trimming your pet’s nails; imagine how vulnerable you would feel with someone cutting your toenails!

If an accident does happen with the trimmers, reach for Gimborn Kwik Stop Styptic Gel with Benzocaine to stop blood flow.
