How to cut the nails of a Schnauzer? Before cutting the nails, let the Schnauzer become familiar with the paw-holding movements, so that he will not be so nervous when cutting; different pet nail clippers are also different, and the nail clippers should be adjusted according to the Schnauzer. Rui, come and choose the appropriate nail clippers; hold the Schnauzer's paws, and then use the nail clippers to cut the Schnauzer. Be careful not to cut the nail flesh, as it will bleed.

The first step is to hold the claw

Let Schnauzer get used to this action from an early age, and increase the time and intensity of holding its paws every day. If the Schnauzer is used to you stroking its little paws, it means that the Schnauzer is ready to cut its nails.

The second step is to choose nail clippers

There are three main types of scissors on the market, one is scissor-shaped, the other is knife-shaped like a circle, and the third is an electric sharpener. Although the nails that are ground are more beautiful and have no edges, , Schnauzers generally don’t like the sound of electric sharpening. If the Schnauzer moves around, it will hurt other places. In addition, when choosing nail clippers, the size of the nail clippers should be selected according to the size of the Schnauzer.

Schnauzers are usually afraid of cutting their nails. Some will collapse immediately when they see the nail clippers, and some will keep moving. For such Schnauzers, we will feed them. You can eat delicious snacks when the nail clippers touch the paws. I believe many Schnauzers will also fall in love with nail clipping.

The third step, cut your nails

It is easiest to cut white and transparent nails. Just cut them about two millimeters away from the nail flesh. Do not cut into the nail flesh. The nail flesh is where the blood and nerve cells of the nail are concentrated. To put it bluntly, it is the pink part of the nail. Do not cut it. If you accidentally cut it, it will hurt! It will bleed! This is the reason why many Schnauzers are afraid of cutting their nails. The owner needs to take a bath and change clothes, find a good angle, put on glasses, and cut carefully!

For Schnauzer owners with black nails, you should be more careful! Because black nails cannot see where the live flesh is, so you need to cut slowly inward from the nails. When you see small gray or pink dots appearing in the cross section of your nails, you should stop. If you continue to trim, you will cut the nail flesh.

Some Schnauzers have dangling thumbs, so don’t forget to trim them. When the nails are not in contact with the ground, the dangling toes will be longer than other nails. Some Schnauzers have extremely loose toes and will swing around. In this case, it is best to remove them surgically during neutering to prevent the Schnauzer from catching on things and getting injured.

Schnauzer’s foot sockets are easy to get dirty and injured, so care must be taken here. When cleaning, wash the toes with warm water, and the area from the foot socket to the toes. If there are wounds, disinfect them in time. The fur on the foot pits of long-haired dogs should be shaved as short as possible so that they will not be slippery when walking.
