| I think you got a good deal. When I take mine to the vets it is like $17 each. But again, that is the vets office.

| Our vet charges $6 to trim nails, but I take Peanut to the groomers and they will trim his nails and the hair around his feet and also the hair between his eyes all for $7. I like the groomers because I can call take him there and wait for him. I will not leave him alone, I guess I'm overprotective. |

Good heavens. I do mine myself. All my dogs enjoy this, while I am trying to cut their nails, I lay them on their backs and tickle their bellies and play gently with the feet and in no time at all they are so relaxed I can cut anything I want . I have been doing Bandit's tho since he was a tiny winey baby. Scooby used to put up a fight but I would hold him and still get it done. Newbie Bijour has no problem he lets me. I am thankfut cuz that can become expensive especially having to do it every few weeks. I also try to walk them on concrete and that helps keep the quik short. | |

| So are my boys including the late scooby. There is a technique, you take the clipper and line it up with the paw where that nail is and if the nail sticks out over the paw once you have the clipper in place then that is what you must cut. As long as there is white when you cut it means the quik is farther on up. The more you cut, the more the quik remains up and not close to the tip |

even if you nip one of them they really dont feel it, I have nipped both scooby and bandit and to be honest, neither noticed, but I did, that was the first time I did it but now I know the technique At first I was really scared but each time it comes easier and easier | |
