Nails
Clipping the nails is a design that should be done regularly.
Nowadays this special scissors in the pet trade.
Dare you not let yourself do it when Trimsalon or veterinarian.
Many people are clipping the nails of their dogs weird. Not surprising when you consider that "life" in nails that is. And if you accidentally into this "life" do you cut your dog's blood and very awfully like a pig .. ! Dogs who regularly in life is cut will not cooperating when they nail you with the rod coming. Some dogs have been such that trauma clipping the nails become impossible and always leads to a fight. Do not let it get that far! If you really dare not, find someone who can do it for you. Would you do it yourself, practice first "dry". First make sure your dog does not mind if you come to his feet and nails. "Play" with his feet. Tickle them and make a game of first. Go easy on the exercise bar. Not cut, but just 'out' and put back pull. The nails of your dog's first well.

Put another good strong lamp or go see them in the Sun Try to discover what life is, especially black nails must first be properly viewed. Make sure the nails are clean, so remove any dirt before you cut.

A little wet (with some spit) would also help in particular black nails life more easily, because if the nail is wet it is shiny and for some reason is still vague than the pink of the translucent life more visible. If you are more assured and your dog remains calm is really quite simple. All you have to do is be very careful, quiet and not cut more than you really know you well covered. Make sure you have enough light, put your glasses on if you might need and do it as an almost never-chore. And remember: if you are unsure and nervous, your dog will mimic your behavior, we start with an easy nail: one white. Avoid getting it in the way, what you view obstructed, so push the hair that hangs on the nail back. In a white nail you can see exactly what life is, because there appears pink through the nail (see the arrow on the photo at left).

Put the pliers on the nail a few millimeters away from the life and cut in a brisk time. No doubt, because it feels that your dog and then pulls his foot back, with the result that the nail that has sat in the bar clamp is pulled and that hurts.

Has your dog both black and white nails side, first do the white. If you then hold the black next to you know how far you can cut. But as mentioned before, good light, a little wet and not too far to cut you to avoid black nails cut in life. If you already have a piece off, then do not: only a milli Remove gauge. That distance is just too short and then you certainly risk in life to cut. Cut is cut. Too little taken off? Too bad, next time better. Next nail ...!!
