You should be able to use a toe nail or finger nail clipper, depending on how thick the nails are. I've also recently started to use a nail file instead of cutting at times since that doesn't seem to bother them a bit. Also - make sure to do it when they are tired & hopefully you will get a little less resistance. Good luck! |
Thank you so much for you help. I will now feel a little more confident when I try this, maybe later today. We are off to visit the Vet this afternoon, Amy has still got her baby canines which are rock solid and her new teeth are through, so hopefully the Vet can advise.
Thanks again
