Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | How often do you clip nails? We are using the pedipaws on Macy, and shes doing really good with it! I have only trimmed a TINY bit off each nail so far, i wanted her to trust me with it first. Anywho, how often should i be trimming her nails? Some are still a bit short since she went to the groomer last week, and some are long How often should i be trimming to upkeep her nails? Daily, weekly?

| I'm probably a bad Yorkie Mom, but every time I try to clip my girls nails they end up a bloody mess. They go to the groomer every 8 weeks and they take care of it for me. If we happen to have a vet visit in between, they do it for free.

| How often do I clip... Generally speaking as soon as I can hear clicking on the floor Sasha gets her nails done. I use the pedi paw as well... It's usually around a week or so. The trick is watching for the quick. If you cut them too short they will be in pain. Not as much as with hammer type clippers but still uncomfortable. Take off too little and you will drive yourself crazy as it you will feel like you are always cutting. As you keep cutting regularly the quick retracts slightly. Which means you can cut back further. |
