How to cut Chihuahua’s nails

First of all, prepare a pair of dog-specific toenail scissors. Note that nail clippers used by humans cannot be used on dogs. Dog nails are different from human nails and are harder than human nails. A pair of professional dog toenail clippers can be purchased in pet stores, and the price is not too expensive. In addition, just prepare a pair of scissors (scissors are used to trim the hair between the dog's toes).

Second, hold the Chihuahua firmly with one hand, and then grab one of its paws. First look at the blood lines in the dog's nails (the dark red part that appears in the cuticle of the nails). After finding it, pay attention to the position of the scissors. It must be below the blood line and do not cut to the blood line to prevent the Chihuahua's nails from bleeding.
Simply put, just trim your Chihuahua’s transparent toenails. During the trimming process, you can trim bit by bit from the tip of the nail. Look carefully when cutting, and be careful not to cut the skin or flesh of the Chihuahua. After you've cut your nails, take your scissors and cut off the long, thick nails on your dog's toenails.
In this way, the nails of one of the Chihuahua’s paws have been trimmed. Following the same method, you can start trimming the nails of the second, third, and fourth paws.
