I had my vet do Destiny's pups tails and will never have them do it again. They claimed it was the clamp and twist method but it certainly wasn't done how I was told to do it. There was a lot of blood and they had to suture the tails. I felt so bad for the pups, especially after seeing the blood. Plus I had to really argue with the vet, they wanted to cut it shorter but I told them to cut it a certain length that I was told to. I am so glad I did because they would have had very little tail left if I had let the vet cut it as short as they wanted it. So I decided I will do it myself from now on using the clamp and twist method I have been told to do.

Thanks for the video!! I have had others explain it to me and seen pictures but never a live video. So that brings me to a question. I was told to use two hemostats. One for clamping and one for twisting off the tail. On the video it looked like they only used one. Is two still best to use?
By the way the puppy in the video handled it so much better than Destiny's pups, their tails were sore for a long time.
