As a general rule, your pet dog’s nails have to undergo a trim when they are just about to touch the floor or the ground as he walks. Should your dog’s nails click or get snagged by something on the floor or the ground, a trim is needed already. For dogs that live a leisurely lifestyle, weekly nail care might be in order, while the more urban dogs that walk around the rougher streets of the city can have longer intervals between clippings.
Doggie nail clippers come in two basic types: the guillotine type and the scissor type. Both of them work well equally so your choice will depend on which one you think you will be comfortable with using.
If your pet cannot tolerate either clipper type, then perhaps the nail grinder tool can be an alternative. You may be able to have more control over this tool that sands down nails instead of cutting them, but the process will be longer than the typical clipper. Also, there are some dogs and people who may find the grinding vibration and sound to be quite unpleasant. Check with your groomer or veterinarian Lewisville, TX regarding which nail clipper type will be ideal for your pet and also ask for instructions on the proper usage.
