When Chip was first adopted his nails were really long because of his pre-rescue neglect. He would have extreme fits when he got his nails done, to the point of him having to wear a muzzle. He would make screaming groaning noises, and fidget the whole time. (I would hold him with his belly facing up and feet toward the groomer) Then one day the groomer used a file instead of the clippers, since then he has grown used to it and doesn't need to wear a muzzle anymore. It also helps if you have the same groomer doing it each time. |
