Do you use special doggy nail clippers??

Yes, you can buy the ones with the nail guard on them.

PEOPLE PLEASE!!! Keep up with your dog's nails. They should never be allowed to get really long. Realize, it is painful for a dog with nails too long to walk. The nails push the toes back at an angle. Nails should be trimmed regularly.

whats nail guard?

frankiesmommy · 06-24-2007, 08:16 PM

My hubby took a shot at clipping Frankie's nails today. Frankie really resists anyone doing anything to him--haircuts, baths, especially his nails. He had to be sedated last time his nails were cut and even then, he still squirmed.

Anyway, he bled today and after that, my husband stopped. I felt so bad for poor Frankie. The bleeding's stopped, but I just read some of the posts above. My question is, do I have to put flour on the cut even though the bleeding's stopped? Is there a risk of infection?

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!
