He's 9 months next week. What can I say? I've never had a dog before and I thought I hurt him that day, I'll have to take him to get his nails cut. Now I know

Their nails will have to be clipped on the average of 4 to 6 weeks.....what you described as the curved nail is the dew claw...it too must be clipped or it can grow into the leg. keep it short or it can get caught up in stuff.
As far the nails taking care of themselves...well unless you know a trick on how to train them on how to use an emory board and if you do, please let me know....
All kidding aside, how old is the puppy if he's a pup....put him on his back, rub his tummy and his paws then sneak in the clipper. |
