There are certain reasons that cause a dog owner to trim the nails of his dogs. There are some breeds that do not require nail trimming because their nails wear off naturally. But for the rest of the breeds, it is important to cut the nails short. Longer nails can cause discomfort to your dog’s feet when he hits a hard surface. Moreover, trimmed nails help your dog to look more friendly, safe and attractive. But trimming the nails can be a difficult job if you do not know how to trim dog nails. Followings are few suggestions to trim dog nails safely without having any trouble.
Selection of the Right Nail Trimmer:
Some people may buy just any nail trimmer available in the market which is not suggested at all. There are different trimmers available in different styles and sizes which make the selection a lot easier. You must select the trimmer in right size and style depending on your dog and his nails. Scissors, plier and guillotine are some of the common styles of trimmers available in small, medium and large sizes to make the selection more convenient.
Pre-Trimming Exercise:
Dogs usually do not feel comfortable with the trimmers irrespective of the style and size. So in order to save yourself and your dog from any inconvenient situation, the pre-trimming exercise can be very helpful. Simply take the trimmer and act the way you should be acting while trimming the dog’s nails. You do not have to cut the nails, just take the trimmer near his nails and press it. Offering some treats can also help to make him comfortable. You will need to repeat the process for a few times.
Trimming the Nails:
You should not start trimming the nails of your dog immediately when you think that the dog is comfortable with the trimmer. Instead, you should start trimming the nails next day. Separate the toes of your dog from each other to cut the nail more conveniently and safely. You do not have to cut all the nails at the same time. You can cut a few nails at one time and should cut the rest after some time or even the next day.
