Trimming your pet’s nails is the only option you have if the nails on their front claws get out of control. You must have never looked at your pet before and thought they needed regular filing or trimming.
Pet Feet and Shoe Tips
If you have two cats that get their nails filed when they get older, then file them down twice before you begin cutting down their nails. Once they go grey, they tend to get a number of growth lines on their front claws, and getting their nails trimmed down may help reduce their discomfort and discomfort from hair removal.
Limit the amount of nail clipping that you do. Nail clipping can irritate your cat’s skin and cause skin irritation, and in the process, you can cause allergic reactions on your pet’s fur.
Nail Trimming With Treats
If you want to shorten the length of your pet’s nails, treat them with alcohol-based and nail clipping mousses. These mousses are more susceptible to bacteria and poor cleaning than nail file and nail trimming is, and since they are made from pet food, they also have a greater chance of contributing to pet overpopulation and over-indulging your pet by enabling them to go beyond your pet’s recommended dietary intake.
Dry & Colorful
Dry and colored nail trims are the best options you have if you don’t want to use flea and tick preventative products. Dry nail trims can also dry the skin on your pet’s nails, and most pet owners aren’t going to want to spend the extra time to do a dry trims every time they’re in a busy dog park.
Wait to Trim Your Pet’s Nails
The best time to trim your pet’s nails is before they have too many growth lines or your pet is aggressive or goes out of control. This time of year when the air is chilly and wet, you can choose to try on winter conditioning so that you can reduce your pet’s stress from cold weather, which could also cause them to want to scratch or bite.
You will need a nail clipping tool, such as a small scissors or a needle dipped in a product that you use to keep your pets groomed.
Bountiful Paw
Don’t trim all of your pet’s nails at once. Cutting down one or two nails at a time will reduce the chance of your pet getting stressed.
Do Split Nails Before Grooms
Split nails are the worst. But some dogs need to have split nails trimmed, such as those that are bloodied by loose nails that they need to support and in pain that they’re in after an accident.
Shave Where Nails are Far
Shaving where you trim your pet’s nails helps prevent the pumice stone from scraping on your pet’s flesh and may prevent the pus from leaking into the wounds.
Stretch Fingers
After trimming your pet’s nails, you should wipe off all nail clippings with dry shampoo to provide a soft cover for the cuticles. If your pet uses a sensitive nail polish, then put a layer of cotton across the top and set it down until your pet’s nails are dried.
Take a Chisel or Thread
If your pet doesn’t have natural nails, you can take a chisel to cut the top or side of their nails. Many big pet stores will sell a chisel, which costs anywhere from $15 to $20. Chances are that if your pet was an only child, they probably don’t have natural nails so you may have to do more pruning as they get older.
Use a Magnifying Glass
If your pet has weak nails, you should use a magnifying glass to trim their nails. It helps to see just where you need to trim.
