For the most part, I do all of Jack's grooming, except twice a year I take him to the groomer - once in the spring for his summer cut and once at the end of summer (around August) so he can have one last shave down before fall/winter. I bathe him typically every week (or my husband will). We bought a Pedi Paws because to me, it was much easier than the nail clippers (he had one of his nails cut way too short when he was a puppy - on two different occasions and bled both times so he is very sensitive when it comes to clipping nails) but this is how I keep his nails trimmed and not out of control.

Be cautious when clipping the nails - start with just the very tips and take off small portions of the nail. Once you start seeing a bit of white (looks almost like a white circle) stop as you will be getting close to the quick. If by chance you hit the quick and it starts bleeding, I have heard that you can use a bit of flour (yes, the dry kind that you use in baking) or a bit of bar soap to help stop the bleeding. Good luck!
