| Nail clipping I took Zoe and Lizzie to get their nails trimmed and it cost me almost $23.00 . I am in shock!!! Usually the nails get trimmed when they get groomed. But its been so flippen cold here that I don't want them groomed yet. Does anyone else think this is outrageous? How much does everyone pay for that or am I the only one too chicken to cut them myself. |

| I went to Petsmart and They washed, trimmed his nails, brushed his teeth and his ears for $9.99 I thought that was an awesome price, and they do a really good job.

| I tried to trim Franklin's nails myself but it became a huge ordeal and was wayy too difficult. Now we take him to our vet's groomer. They charge $5 for a wash, dry, and nail clipping. It's very reasonable.

| That is really outrageous. Try calling around and finding the best price? I know how hard it can be to trim their nails yourself.

| Tricksie's nails are solid black, the Vet showed them to me and said that you have to be so careful, I will pay to have it done.

| I used to pay $15 just to have my yorkie's nails cut. That was in downtown Toronto. Now that we have moved to Burlington, I found a great lady that does his nails for only $5 plus she has 25 years of experience.

| If you put the pup in a sink with an inch of water for two minutes, its shocking how much easier it is to clip them. I use 'sideways' human nail clippers. |
