I'm not complaining, just stating facts. I'm open for suggestions. |
Wow, you're spending a small fortune! Poor Prince, he must hate it! I used Benedryl for one of my pups when she had an allergic reaction, it made her sleepy. Try the tablet form, cuz liquid tastes horrible & she wouldn't let me go near her mouth for awhile. Try putting the nail clipper next to him & giving him his favorite treat, he'll start associating that the clipper is a good thing, not a torture device!
Massage his paws, under the paws, touch his nails, he'll get used to it. Momo hates his nails being trimmed too. I can cut his back nails by lifting his two back legs & he can't wiggle cuz he thinks he has to balance himself. The front is a struggle though. If I can cut one nail, I'll over praise him & give lots of kisses. I can't do it in one day, I have to give him breaks cuz he'll start hyper-ventilating!
