Question
I have 6 2week old puppies and their nails keep getting stuck in the old towel that they lay on.  Can I cut their nails and what should I use?  

Answer
Hello Karen, absolutely, You can even use human toenail clippers for those small soft nails.  Or just use dog nail clippers, which ever you are more comfortable with.  Always have quick stop on hand just in case you clip too far and the nail bleeds.  You can get this at most pet stores.  Thank for asking, Cindy Lou :)
