It is vital to keep a dog's nails trimmed short enough.

It is vital to keep a dog's nails trimmed short enough.
If the nails grow too long, many health problems can result, such as bleeding and broken nails and ingrown nails.
Of course, as your dog relies on his paws to function, they have to be kept healthy.
There's an easy way to know if your dog is overdue nail clipping and that is the sound of click-click-click of the nails on hard floors. You can take your dog to a professional groomer for a manicure, or you can do it yourself.
If doing it yourself is your style, remember a couple of vital rules.
The right equipment is important and you need to know how high to cut the nail without hurting your dog.
Without these you will have a recipe for disaster on your hands.
Dogs have tough feet but the quick of the nail is still very tender, so you need to have a good idea of the limit of how high to cut. On paler and clear nails the quick is clearly visible by its pink color, it is trickier with dark nails.
So you need a high grade nail trimmer next; look no further than the Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers, with fantastic grip and easy-use design. Plus the blades are sharp enough to make easy work of the toughest nail.
So you have got your equipment, now let's talk technique.
Take your dogs paw in your hand firmly - it's often best to have the dog tucked under your arm.
Get the nail clearly in view by pressing on the "toe", identify the quick and trim nail at a 45 degree angle. Take off slivers each time, don't be too ambitious.
After the majority of the work has been done, it is time to tidy up any uneven edges.
Really take care when trimming your pet's nails; imagine how vulnerable you would feel with someone cutting your toenails!
Gimborn Kwik Stop Styptic Gel with Benzocaine will stop any bleeding if the worst does happen.
These trimmers are great for home or salon use. A pair of Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers will last a good time too as they are made to last and perform well.
The trimmers are designed with both dog and owner in mind, and come with a lifetime guarantee.
Both dog and owner will be delighted to get a manicure with these safe and effective trimmers.
