Do You Trim Your Yorkies Nails? I can't do it! I just can't trim nails! So, I have either the groomer or the vet trim them for me. Between trims, Jazzie, Jolie & Jen ends up with "Wolverine" nails. I know it's time to get them trimmed when I hear the click, click, click on my tiled floor. Are you brave enough and have the cofidence to trim nails? If you do, I bow down to you!:notworthy :notworthy :notworthy |
I was cutting them but he is such a turd about it and I was affraid to hurt him so I ended up cutting so little off it was like I wasn't doing any good any way! LOL So started taking him to the vet to do it. ;) |
I tried doing it a few times. I have trimmed my cats nails for years, never a problem. But with Gracie, no matter how careful I was she ended up a bloody mess. Even my vet had problems, says she has a long quick. So, I finally gave up and decided to let the groomer do it. We are all much happier, and the groomer has never had a problem with Gracie's nails bleeding! |
I do mine...at first I made some mistakes but I kept the quik stop handy...lol I can do it in about a minute per dog now...lol |

Well technically, I will hold them and sweet talk, while my S.O does the actual clipping:D. We do this bi weekly and it takes about a min or 2 with each pup:) |
Yep I trim them myself, although it doesn't need doing that often as their walks wear them down. Just get them calm sitting on your knee or next to you and then what you can do is if you shine torch under the black ones you will be able to see where the 'quick' is, thats where you don't want to cut past. Just do a little bit at a time. Keep some quick stop or flour close by just in case you do cut a little bit too much. |
Yes i do, they dont like it, and i hate forcing them into anything, but it's one of those things that have to be done. |
Mine won't let me. |

hmmm...wonder how these work? |
I voted "yes" although I technically don't cut - I file!!! I have a doggie dremmel so there is no chance of cutting too short and causing them to bleed. And, it is just as quick as cutting. The girls both still hate it and need to be bundled in a blanket and held, but they are mostly quiet with a little whining where for actual cutting, you would think we were killing them!!!! I've never heard a pup scream before, but that is exactly what they did!!!!!!!!!!! |
