Somebody's gonna have to trim them... whether it be you or a groomer or a vet. My vet's office charges, like, $5 to trim the tails. Petsmart is around $10, I think. I bought a nail clipper myself for around $5 but I rarely cut his own nails. That is the one area he just does NOT like being messed with... so it usually takes me 10 minutes just to get 1 paw done, lol. I prefer to pay and let the pros do it!
