I do leave a little past the quik to make sure I don't go too short. Good Luck I have read where someone puts thier dog's nail in a stocking to keep the hair pushed back, but I haven't tried it yet. I just do it often and not very much at a time. |
Thank you! I didn't know about the shiny and dull part of the nail...I am going to have to check that out. I was told, by my vet, to cut off the curve part of the nail. I am so nervous cutting their nails. I am so worried I am going to cut the quick. I'm sure they sense this and this could be why they squirm when I cut them.
Thank you again! mirobie!
