For A Perfect Pooch Choose Guillotine Nail Clippers.
July 15, 2008 – 11:34 amIt is vital to keep a dog’s nails trimmed short enough.
Overly long nails in humans are annoying but in dogs they can split and break causing bleeding paws.
Your dog’s paws need to be kept in tip top condition as he uses them all the time.
Does a tapping sound from your dog’s nails seem familiar? If so it’s time for a trim; so the next question is do you go to a pro or do you trust yourself anout to do it at home?
If doing it yourself is your style, remember a couple of vital rules.
You need the right equipment and you need to have some knowledge of the anatomy of your dog’s paw.
If you don’t prepare you may end up with a dog with a sore foot and a lifelong hatred of having his nails trimmed.
Everyone knows how sore it is when you cut your nail too low - the same goes for dogs, so it is important to know where the nerve starts. You need to cut below the quick, which is easy to identify by the end of the pink color.

Next let’s look at the procedure for cutting nails.
It is often best to sit with your dog in your lap, holding his paw firmly, but not roughly.
The nail will extend if you gently push the pad; now you have to try to ascertain where the quick is and below that point start to trim at 45 degrees. Little by little is the key, don’t hurry this job.
After the majority of the work has been done, it is time to tidy up any uneven edges.
It’s so important to trim the nail carefully as you can seriously hurt your dog with a slip of the hand - and you will know about it!
