Cutting the feet is very easy. Place the paw down and cut around the
foot area in a circular motion. Follow the outline of the paw. Don't cut
above the nails just infront of them. Lift the paw up and use a moustache
trimmer to get the hair between the pads. If that is left long it will hurt to
walk, hence pulling of the hair with each step. Sorta like digging it out with
the trimmer. It does not pinch them, it's safe and easy.
I would purchase a peticure for the nails. I am afraid to cut them too.
Even the vet has cut them too short and he yelped.
I am learning to use the peticure on his nails.
Hope this helps you.
