frontline works best if applied 48 hours before or after a bath because it works with the oils in their skin.
As for the nail trims, i know this answer is gonna suck for you but you have to keep doing what your doing to get her used to it. If she's gonna complain for you, she's gonna complain for the groomer/vet as well. She's trying to get her way and its working. What you can do to get her used to it is play with her feet ALOT when your both lying down or sitting on the couch at night. get her used to her feet being handled. Then bring the clipers in to the scene. At fist get her used to the sight of them next to her feet. Then get her use to the noise it makes by clipping a toothpick or something like that. Next just put it on her nail and apply slight pressure but don't cut. she's gonna put up a fight and she's gonna scream, but trust me, your not hurting her at all. even if you cut the quick of her nail it doesn't hurt very much if at all. its more of a shock to them then anything. just keep at it and eventually she'll get used to it. this will make it easier on you, the groomer, and the vet, and they'll thank you for it.
