How to trim pet dog nails?

Before cutting your nails, you should pay attention to the blood line in the nails, which is the dark red part showing through the cuticle of the nails. The cut place with special dog scissors must be below the blood line, and do not cut to the blood line to prevent the dog's nails from bleeding. Bleeding is a common occurrence for professional beauticians. They have medicinal powders to deal with similar problems. However, friends who trim their dog’s nails at home should be timid when trimming their dog’s nails. Cut a little less every time, one millimeter or two millimeters is enough. "Small amounts and many times" is a better way.

Dog’s nails are very hard. After determining the location to be cut, the final cut must be decisive. Because dogs usually retract their paws when they find that you want to move their nails, and the owner's hesitation will also send a signal of uneasiness to the dog. When one person is operating, one should firmly grasp the dog's paw with one hand, use the scissors with the other hand to find a good position on the nail, and cut it off at once. By the time the dog reacts and retracts its paw, the cut is complete. Never hold the scissors between your dog's nails when it retracts its paws, as it will definitely be very uncomfortable.
