The Best Dog Nail Clippers Are Guillotine Trimmers.

Dogs can have the need for a regular manicure probably more than humans do; hence the need for trimmers.

Overly long nails in humans are annoying but in dogs they can split and break causing bleeding paws.

Your dog's paws need to be kept in tip top condition as he uses them all the time.

Does a tapping sound from your dog's nails seem familiar? If so it's time for a trim; so the next question is do you go to a pro or do you trust yourself anout to do it at home?

If doing it yourself is your style, remember a couple of vital rules.

Invest in a high quality set of trimmers, and ensure you know exactly where to cut the nail.

If you try to cut corners you may end up cutting your dog's paw by accident.

Everyone knows how sore it is when you cut your nail too low - the same goes for dogs, so it is important to know where the nerve starts. You need to cut below the quick, which is easy to identify by the end of the pink color.

Now we are going to talk about how to cut nails.

Take your dogs paw in your hand firmly - it's often best to have the dog tucked under your arm.

The nail will extend if you gently push the pad; now you have to try to ascertain where the quick is and below that point start to trim at 45 degrees. Little by little is the key, don't hurry this job.

Finish the nails off by checking you haven't left sharp or uneven edges.

Clearly extreme caution must be taken when trimming the nails, otherwise you may snip a very sensitive area of your dog's foot, and he won't thank you for it!
