Run your dog on concert or the sidewalk, they will naturally trim the nails down. I haven't had to cut my dogs nails in over a year.

You should be able to see the vein through the nail, that way you wont cut it...

STEP 1

Use trimmers designed for pets. Ask your veterinarian or a groomer for advice about what types of nail trimmers are best for your dog and how to use them properly.

STEP 2

Make sure the clippers are sharp.

STEP 3

Start at the tip of the nail and snip a little at a time. Look at the cut edge of the nail. When you start to see pale pink tissue near the top of the cut edge, stop. You can use a nail file to smoooth the edges further.

STEP 4

Avoid cutting into the quick, which contains nerves and blood vessels. It is painful and will bleed easily. On white nails, the quick is the pink section.
