Ouch, nails!

Sugar on Grooming - Sun, June 29 2008

My nails are getting long, and Mommy can't cut them very well. What do you guys do? Sometimes I'll go to PetSmart to get it done, but Mom would prefer not to take me there to get them done.

If you do them at home, what do you use?

Thanks,

Sugar

OMG...don't go to Petsmart! If you need your nails done and your mama doesn't want to do them, try a groomer or your vet. I've had really bad experiences at the Petsmart in Castleton.

Depends on where you live, I guess. We have had a great experience with Sally at the Plainfield Petsmart. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

we're flipped & clipped here at home (ie: on our backs). Mom uses just a general nail trimmer that you can get at any pet supplies (online or store). Don't go for the cheapest ones -- the cutter isn't that sharp (or loses it quickly) and the nails end up splintering. We've also "dremmeled" or used extra fine sandpaper on our nails afterwards to take the "edge" off (I don't have to - Mom plays ball with me to dull them down some).

The Plainfield Petsmart is about 3 minutes away from me. I'll see about that. Ojo, we do have clippers but not very nice ones, I might have to see about those too!

I get my nails cut at All American Grooming in Avon...they have an awesome dog wash and it is only $4 for the nail trim! I don't think they are open on Sundays though.

UGH OWEEEE I HATE TO HAVE MY NAILS TRIMMED!!! I won't let Mommy do it and I really don't want to let Shirley do it, but since Shirley puts me on the table and harnesses me in, I feel a little safer. HATE IT!!! xoxo FiFi

I don't care. Mommy can clip my nails anytime she wants. Mommy never hurts me. And I'm just a very good girl. (And FiFi's just a baby...) hahahaha xoxo LCC

Hey, Sugar...remember me? Mom snips my nails with a clipper. I don't like it but I'd rather her do it than anyone else. My mom also uses the dremmel but only on Lola.
