I have never clipped Gus's nails. The one time I took him to the groomers they did clip them and they were so sharp that when I went to go pick him up he got so excited that he scratched me and made me bleed. What I do is after his weekly bath I file his nails. Gus is used to this and will just lay there on his back. He even falls asleep because before I get to his nails he gets a full body message. He loves this. So by this time his is so relaxed. I would be scared of clipping them for fear of cutting too short.
