    These are good tips, but my problem is due to an incident with a Pekingese I had growing up. My dad trimmed his nails, and of course the dog squirmed. Out came the nail and nerves or roots. Everytime I get clippers near my dogs toes, I get nervous which makes him nervous. The vet does a great job doing his nails, and neither one of us is in a panic.

    My doxie is terrible with nail trimming! He’s so bad that I take him to the vet at 7am and he gets sedated for his nail trim. His nails are difficult to trim because they curl under when they grow out. Poor lil guy.

    Ive had my chihuahua mix since he was 9 months hes about 2 now. He has clear nails and is so great when i clip them. Theyre always super short (i can see the quick clearly) but his nails click on the ground all the time. Ive never been able to not hear them. Im assuming that just how his nails/paws are!

    I use a Human(with a wire cutter style handle)SHARP nail clipper!!! It works
    FAST, does not crush/shatter the nail, and mine tolerate it!!! body temp mineral oil to soften nails makes them cut instead of shatter…Those other types of trimmers are no damn good!!!
