it's not hard to cut your babies nails...first you need to get kitty nail cutters since the doggie nail cutters will be to big for him..then you will need to get some styptic pads just in case you cut too deep this will stop the bleeding if you don't it will bleed like a water fountain. then you can trim just a bit off the tip if you do every week after you take him a bath the nails will be softer and easier for you to cut them. don't put off the longer it is the harder it is for your baby to walk on it. i hope that this makes sense..i hope that this help...
