| Help with nail clipping My baby Pumpkin who is 8 months old refuses to let me clip his nails. I have the electric pet nail filer and he is scared of the noise. When I attempted to use the regular nail clipper he snatches his paw away before I'm able to clip the nail. Any advise PLEASE..... |

| You might try watching this video about nail trimming and positive reinforcement. It actually works.

YT Addict | Emmett is scared to death of the pedi-paws trimmer. He hates the regular trimmer too. I always have to have the vet do it.

| I am sure I am of no help but I always just take him to the vets office up the road and let them do it for a few dollars. He is soo wiggly that I would just end up getting mad at him and scaring him more, plus I am afraid I will clip them wrong. Well, worth the money. |

| definately the vet or groomer. peka's nail's are dark and you cant see the quick in darker nails and it's easier to cut it too short, which will cause bleeding. i would feel horrible. so vet is my friend :-) |
