Who clips the nails? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I clip all of their Nails, out of my 3 Yorkie's only one of them really need to have their Nails clipped and that is Abigail, Artie & Pom Pom file their own Nails on the Cement when they walk? I try to walk them at least twice a day.
I do clip their Nails after a Bath when the Nails are softer, once a week or so.

I've always done my own dogs. FIL gave me one of those roller clippers that they have on those infomercials. I'll try them out the next time it needs to be done.

My vet taught me when Finnigan was a puppy and I would do it all the time, but after he was about 8 months old he stopped letting me. I'm not sure why, I tried clipping them this past weekend while he was getting a bath... I got two paws done and then he just wouldn't have it anymore! So, I guess I'll have to take him to the vet again...

I trim all four fluffs.............Kallie who we have had longer is the only one that goes spastic on me but she does let me do it, it just takes me longer!

I clip Daisy's nails in between visits to the groomer. I don't take her every 8 weeks like our groomer recommends. It saves us some money. Our groomer uses a rotary tool, much like the PediPaw. My mom has a dog that doesn't like her toes touched at all and had a time trying to trim her nails (big dog) until they bought the PediPaw. She doesn't mind it now.

I just recently borrowed my friends peticure...love it. My dogs are afraid of it, so I'll do a little at a time. Definitly going to purchase my own, will save me some $$.

We bought the pedipaws, and it doesn't work for my dogs. Bernie and Baxter hate having their nails done, and the vibration of the pedipaws and the noise freaks them out worse than the clippers do. It takes too long to get their nail in the hole in the guide, and the hair is a problem too. I'll just let the groomer trim. I don't want them to hate me, so I don't trim, I could, but I elect not to.
