| Nail clipping I thought I read to use nail clippers for cats when trimming the nails, is this true? Is there a certain brand or size? I just read this yesterday and now I can't find it...aaargh. I'm going to try clipping their nails, it seems like they are needing their nails clipped mre often for some reason.

| I use one of those nail sander type things as I am such a wus I hate nail clipping my dog lately. I don't know what happened to me but can no longer clip Tibbe's nails! Do you think using cat clippers would make it easier?

I usually start out with the kitty clippers, but at times have had to switch to a more heavy duty clipper....If you tip them weekly, you don't have to be frightened of hurting them.

Nail sander type things - is this a dremel? I've never cut their nails as they go the groomer every six weeks. I moved it to five weeks because of their nails. The last time I took them to the vet in between the groomer. Now they are too long again. They go to the groomer tomorrow but I would like to try to clip them myself in between times, or all the time.

Also, are kitty clippers available at PetsMart? I never go to the cat section.

Yes, you can purchase them at PetsMart in the cat section....they looked like little angled scissors...I have the one's with a black grips....don't get the one's that are all stainless steel....they seem to slip.

| I use an Oster Gentle Paws and use it every 3rd day or so, just sanding off the tips. If I wait a week to do it, takes a bit more filing than Tibbe likes at one time. I am not tense at all using this device.
