If the nails are too long even when trimmed because the quic is long, then you can have your pup mildly sedated and have the vet cut them extreamly short for you and cauterize the quic and start fresh.
I must admit it is awkward to see a dog declawed. Especially this one Doberman I trained...it just stood out that he had no nails, as well as little traction at high speeds! |
It suddenly occured to me that i wonder exactly how you are seeing so many declawed dogs. In my 16 years of mobile pet grooming where I have have many hundreds of clients over the years, I have never ever run into a declawed dog, not a one, zip nada.
