How to trim Bedlington Terrier's nails? Dogs don't like their parents to trim their nails! So how can you trim your dog's nails smoothly? The following editor will share with you how to trim Bedlington Terrier's nails.

How to trim Bedlington Terrier nails:

First, you need a suitable pair of nail clippers

There are two main types of nail clippers on the market today. One is shaped like scissors, and the other is a nail clipper with a round hollow like a guillotine. Both types of nail clippers have their own pros and cons, but in general the latter is easier to use than the former.

Scissor-shaped nail clippers are more suitable for cutting nails that are too long and bent. This situation often occurs on the thumb nails of dogs, because they cannot wear this nail when walking.

Parents, please pay attention to the front and back sides of nail clippers with a round-hole guillotine shape. The side with the blade faces you (outward) so that you can see clearly. Put the dog's nail through the round hole, and when you hold the nail clipper tightly, the blade will move forward to cut the dog's nail!

You no longer have to worry about the dog suddenly attacking), on the same side The hand can lift his/her paw. The hand holding the nail clippers needs to go around the owner's body (near the shoulders), from the back of the dog's paws to the front.

　2. Lying on your side

If your dog is too disobedient, you can also choose to let him lie on his side. The arm not holding the nail clippers also holds the dog's neck, and the hand on the same side lifts his paw. The hand holding the nail clippers went around the dog's body, his arm pressed on the dog's body to stabilize it, and he held the nail clippers.

If there is a gray or pink oval area (area No. 3) between the two parts, do not cut any further. If you cut again, bleeding may occur!
