Good questions
Before you begin.
How do I know when nails are too long?
If you hear clicking on hard floors, or the nails touch the ground when your dog stands, it is time to trim.
How often should nails be clipped?
Many dogs need it every three to six weeks. Active dogs on rough surfaces may need it less often.
Can I do this at home?
Some owners do, using proper dog clippers and a steady hand. If you are unsure, ask a groomer or vet nurse to show you.
What if a nail bleeds?
It can happen if the quick is cut. A groomer will have styptic powder and know what to do. Speak to your vet if bleeding does not stop.
