How often can you trim the nails? Teddy's nails grow really fast and I have started trimming them myself. I am just kind of tipping them because I am a little skittish doing this right now. I can see the quick on a couple of nails but that is all. Can I tip them more often that once a week? Maybe 4 days apart?

Second question. When I am trimming around Daisy's face, I am having trouble getting it to look even. It is coming out choppy looking. Do you cut trim the faces when they are wet or dry? Yesterday I bathed her and tried trimming her face when it was semi dry. It seemed to work a little better than dry. Daisy has really thick hair and hers is harder to do evenly.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
