The steps for cutting nails:

1. The nails are sharp, dogs will be easily scratched if they move around, so you need to fix the dog's body, or you can ask people to help.

2. Grab one leg of the dog and stretch it forward. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch the pad of the toenail to be trimmed. Use the index finger to push back slightly and the thumb to squeeze forward.

3. The pink blood line can be clearly seen on the white nails, and the excess nails should be cut off slightly downward along the blood line. The black nails need to be cut slowly and tentatively. If you are not careful Bleeding can be stopped by pressing with hemostatic powder.

4. Smooth the excess edges and corners with a nail file.

Notes when cutting nails:

1. You can teach the dog to shake hands in advance, and let the dog get used to the feeling of being caught by the paw.

2. The novice prepares snacks and feeds the dog a little snack at a time, so that it has a good association with nail clipping.

3. If the dog is particularly sensitive and afraid, you can cut only one nail a day, and it will take more than a week to cut all the nails after cutting and feeding the treats.

4. If there is bleeding, use special hemostatic powder to stop the bleeding.
