I took Chewy for 3 times as a puppy but relaized that I could do it myself and he is so much happier. I did buy a muzzle so I could trim his nails without him bitting me. But he is over a year now and he doesn't bite any more so I don't use the muzzle now. Not only is it cheaper doing it yourself but you know your dog is being treated well and that means the world to me.
