Trimming dogs's nails is a must, but one that many owners ignore. Even some owners are afraid to trim their dog's nails, one is because the dog is not cooperating, and the other is because they are afraid of bleeding. So if you don't have the ability to handle the dog yourself, it is recommended to send it to a beauty salon for professional operation.

Before trimming the dog's nails, you must first determine the length of the nails to be trimmed, and pay attention to observe the blood in the nails before trimming the nails. The line is the dark red part that shows through the cuticle of the nail. Do not touch the blood line where we lower the scissors, otherwise it will be easy to bleed.

It is a common thing for professional beauticians to cut bleeding. They have medicinal powder to deal with similar problems. For the owners themselves, if they do not have tools such as hemostatic powder, they still need to cut nails. Be careful. Cut a little less each time, and then gradually reduce it downwards. The length of the scissors can be considered appropriate, but it should not be the same as if you have not cut it. In order to avoid the blood line growing longer and longer with the nail.

In addition, dogs' nails are very hard. After determining the position to be cut, the last cut should be decisive, because dogs usually shrink their claws when they find that you want to move their nails. It is more dangerous to retract subconsciously once the nail is trimmed, and the dog may not be so cooperative after retracting the foot.

After determining the position, the nails should be cut decisively

When a person is operating, use one hand to firmly grasp the dog's paw, and use the other hand to hold the scissors on the nails Compare the position, go down, and when the dog reacts and shrinks its paws, it has already been cut. Never clip your dog's nails with scissors when it shrinks its paws, it must be a very uncomfortable thing.

Grasp the base of the nails of the dog's paws with your hands. In the case of a long-haired dog, tuck up the dreadlocks in front of the toes so that the nails are fully exposed.

To prevent too much cutting at one time, especially if the blood line is cut, it will bleed, and the dog will be afraid of cutting nails in the future. The approximate length of the nails after cutting, if your dog is very patient, you can also use a nail file to file the area where the front of the nails has just been trimmed. There is also a dewclaw near the dog's ankle, and this nail also needs to be trimmed. Some dogs may also have their dewclaws removed as children. The principles and methods of trimming dewclaws are similar to trimming other nails. Sometimes it is very long and can be cut off a little more.

For medium and large dogs, the frequency of nail clipping may not be too frequent, because when the dog is out, the friction between the nails and the ground can play a certain manicure effect. However, for small dogs, it should be noted that the frequency of trimming should not exceed two weeks. Once the nails are too long, it will also cause certain obstacles to the dog's walking, and it will even cause the dog to walk for a long time. The dog's bones are deformed.
