How to cut pet nails:

1. First prepare the supplies for cutting pet nails. Special nail clippers, nail grinders or nail files, anti-bite Elizabethan rings or Baoding bags, iodophor, cotton, Yunnan Baiyao or styptic powder.

2. Keep your pet in a comfortable position. If you are afraid of aggressive behavior, you can wear an Elizabethan ring or put it in a Baoding bag to soothe your pet's mood.

3. If you are trimming the dog's nails, grab one of its paws and use the other hand to trim its nails. Pay attention to the curvature of the nails and place a small amount at the bend of the nails toward the front of the nails. Just move it 5 mm and cut it.

4. If you are cutting the cat's nails, hold the cat's paw with one hand, press it gently with your fingers and press the nail out of its paw with your thumb, and use your other hand to hands to trim nails. Note that you only need to cut the tip of the white part of the nail, and avoid cutting the pink flesh, otherwise it will bleed.

5. After cutting the nails, you can use a grinder or nail file to smooth the broken ends of the nails. If the nail bleeds after cutting, the owner can use paper towels or cotton to press for a few minutes to stop the bleeding, and use iodophor for disinfection. If bleeding continues, you can apply a little Yunnan Baiyao or styptic powder.
