| How often do you clip? We just had Reesie's nails clipped and I want to maintain them myself. How often should I clip them? Once a week? Once a month?

| I try to clip when I bath, so 7-14 days... They kids that do a lot of scraping, or walking on pavement, I do less.

| Thank you guys. I'm wondering, does the quick grow out longer with the nail if you go longer in between clipping? If I clip more often, does it keep the quick shorter. Or does the quick stay the same length no matter how often you clip? Does that make any sense? LOL!

| I think it is diff for each yorkie. my first yorkie needed to get clipped every two weeks but Bailey had her last nail clipping like 2 weeks ago and they are still short... some people prefer to cut less more often to make sure they dont cut to short and other know their limits and can cut more less often. goodluck

| Yes, The quick will grow to the end of the nail if not clipped regularly, at least every two weeks I think. The quick will recede if you file them.

| I use pedipaws if needed about once a month or when I can feel them or they leave marks on my skin. |
