The most useful video ever
My dogs donāt have any clear nails š«¤
That wasnāt a 45Ā° angle and now Iām just confused all over again, you watch a video for help and then the āprofessionalā does it wrong š©
Iād like to see you TRY to trim our 10lb dogs nails. All groomers say no. To sedate our dog to trim his nails our vet quoted 90 bucks to walk in the door. This is for saying words. They quoted us between 250.00 to 300.00 to trim his nails. We arent rich folks. He gets the muzzle off every time. It was fitted to him. He will go psycho.and gouge your skin. Other than the nails heās a doll. We have been to every groomer in our area. So I doubt dove Lewis would have anymore luck. He was like this when we adopted him. So frustrating.
So i struggle with this, I asked a groomer what to do and she suggested clipping on nail per day just to get her use to it therefor it will make it easier down the road.
