| Katy hates to get her nails trimmed. I use a heavy duty nail file. It is easier on both of us. |

| I'm scared to do it too. I bought a pair of nail trimmers, and I can hear her nails clicking a bit when she walks, but when I look at her nails closely, I don't see the "curved tip" my vet told me to look for. I'm going to wait until the curve is more pronounced, or until the next time she goes to the groomers...whatever comes first. I saw a great tip in another thread....slip an old panyhose (pantyhoe? ) onto her paw and that will keep the hair on/between her toes away from her nails so you can see them more clearly.

My furkids Donating Member | try soaking her feet when you are giving her a bath..this will soften the nails and the wont' "click" so loud. just cut the tips off. I don't like doing it either but, they need to be done. Depending on how often you bathe her/him I would cut them every other bath. Just to let you know, they are coming out with a new clipper. It's called quick finder. I posted this a while ago. They haven't come out with them yet but, if you go to their site you can be put on a list that will send you an e-mail when they out.
