Nail clipping - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I took Zoe and Lizzie to get their nails trimmed and it cost me almost $23.00

. I am in shock!!! Usually the nails get trimmed when they get groomed. But its been so flippen cold here that I don't want them groomed yet. Does anyone else think this is outrageous? How much does everyone pay for that or am I the only one too chicken to cut them myself.

I went to Petsmart and They washed, trimmed his nails, brushed his teeth and his ears for $9.99 I thought that was an awesome price, and they do a really good job.

Out vet charged me $10 for Ruby's once. I decided to do it myself after that. I already trim the cats so thought it can't be that hard to do.....HAHAHA....famous last words.....I had never done a yorkies before

We are getting better at it each time but it hasn't been easy.

wow...I think I got screwed....

lilfoot · 02-08-2008, 04:51 PM

They are so quick with their feet, I'm afraid I will cut them too short...

I tried to trim Franklin's nails myself but it became a huge ordeal and was wayy too difficult. Now we take him to our vet's groomer. They charge $5 for a wash, dry, and nail clipping. It's very reasonable.

It took them maybe 30 seconds for each dog...no wash and no dry...

That is really outrageous. Try calling around and finding the best price? I know how hard it can be to trim their nails yourself.

I do Ellie's nails (cut or usually just file them now) myself.

I pay $15 for one baby, they clip nails, ears and shave her behind.

Tricksie's nails are solid black, the Vet showed them to me and said that you have to be so careful, I will pay to have it done.

I used to pay $15 just to have my yorkie's nails cut. That was in downtown Toronto. Now that we have moved to Burlington, I found a great lady that does his nails for only $5 plus she has 25 years of experience.

We went to Petsmart today and actually had clippers in our hands but put them back...we are to chicken....I would feel so bad if I cause them to bleed....I am going to see how much my vet charges...seeing that I am there all the time anyways....

If you put the pup in a sink with an inch of water for two minutes, its shocking how much easier it is to clip them. I use 'sideways' human nail clippers.
