For the most part, I do all of Jack's grooming, except twice a year I take him to the groomer - once in the spring for his summer cut and once at the end of summer (around August) so he can have one last shave down before fall/winter. I bathe him typically every week (or my husband will). We bought a Pedi Paws because to me, it was much easier than the nail clippers (he had one of his nails cut way too short when he was a puppy - on two different occasions and bled both times so he is very sensitive when it comes to clipping nails) but this is how I keep his nails trimmed and not out of control. Be cautious when clipping the nails - start with just the very tips and take off small portions of the nail. Once you start seeing a bit of white (looks almost like a white circle) stop as you will be getting close to the quick. If by chance you hit the quick and it starts bleeding, I have heard that you can use a bit of flour (yes, the dry kind that you use in baking) or a bit of bar soap to help stop the bleeding. Good luck! |
Ok this is an update.;) Brought a pair of nail clipper and I've trimmed his nails shorter, not the best but for a first time I'm pleased, will give it another go in a couple of weeks. George was a good boy and didn't wriggle too much but a firm hand was essential, no more groomers for my boy. Thanks for all the tips and instrucions on nail clipping.:thumbup: |

Finding A Groomer I live in NW Houston. I have been researching groomers since I got Zachary a month ago. I have found much negative posted about every groomer in the area except one. I called to make an appointment last week and the only appointment they have in June is the 29th so I snatched it up. Even my vet said all their clients rave about this place! Now I have to figure out how to keep Zachary going till then. His fur is so easily matted at this length. Louise |
