It is vital to keep a dog's nails trimmed short enough. Without nail care in dogs, they can break and causing bleeding. 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 anout to do it at home? If doing it yourself is your style, remember a couple of vital rules. The right equipment is important and you need to know how high to cut the nail without hurting your dog. If you don't prepare you may end up with a dog with a sore foot and a lifelong hatred of having his nails trimmed. Everyone knows how sore it is when you cut your nail too low - the same goes for dogs, so it is important to know where the nerve starts. You need to cut below the quick, which is easy to identify by the end of the pink color. Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers are the correct tools for the job too.

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.
