Dangers of too long nails:

1. Nails that are too long can easily hurt people and damage furniture.

2. Dogs do not retract their nails into their palms like cats. Nails that are too long will cause pain when walking, distort the posture, and affect bone development.

3. Easily lead to paronychia and infection.

Nail cutting preparation tools:

Special nail clippers, styptic powder, nail file

Steps to cut nails:

1. Nail scissors are sharp and can be easily scratched if the dog moves around. Therefore, the dog’s body needs to be fixed, and you can also ask someone to help.

2. Grasp one of the dog's legs and stretch it forward. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch the pad where the toenails are to be trimmed. Press your index finger slightly backward and squeeze forward with your thumb.

3. The pink blood line can be clearly seen on white nails. Cut off the excess nails slightly downward along the blood line. Black nails need to be cut slowly and tentatively. If bleeding occurs accidentally, you can use hemostatic powder to stop the bleeding.

4. Use a nail file to smooth out excess edges and corners.

Be careful when cutting nails:

1. You can teach your dog how to shake hands in advance, so that the dog can get used to the feeling of having its paws grabbed by someone.

2. Novices prepare snacks and feed the dog a few snacks every time it is cut, so that it can have a good association with nail cutting.

3. If the dog is particularly sensitive and fearful, you can only cut one nail every day. After cutting and feeding the dog, it will take more than a week to cut all the nails.

4. If bleeding occurs, you can use special hemostatic powder to stop the bleeding.
