Whats the best way to trim a dog's claws when he won't let you | |
flyingfish  User ID: 1111367  United States12/13/2010 09:30 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wrap him up snugly in ab blanket or towel, so his legs are up against his body, with the paw you want to work on sticking out. If he's really big, use some duct tape too. Quoting: wruff 1193662Then get on the Internet and learn how to cut your dog's nails without hurting his nail beds your dumbass. If it was a big dog, I wouldnt have this problem. Its chihuahua. It would be easier trimming a greys toenails than spots claws.  I have one of those his name is rusty and he is a little prick but you got to love him he is 11 years old now, and spent alot of money on him. I trim his nails after a bath I have to put a muzzle on him right before I get him out of the bath wrap up in a towel and trim his nails he gets upset but he gets over it so good luck its aways a fight.

When I try he gets away and hides for a day. Quoting: wruff 1193662 I would appreciate any suggestions. walk the dog everyday on concrete pavements, keeps my mutts nails very trim. |

| flyingfish User ID: 1111367 United States12/13/2010 09:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have six dogs now and have had them all my life without ever having to cut their nails. How is that? Because I exercise them properly. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 931478EXERCISE YOUR DOG! You must have a lot of time on your hands to Exercise all of those dogs. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1193514 United States12/13/2010 09:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | take him for a walk on concrete or bitumen. repeat every day. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1192672Agree 100%. Long walks on grass just dont wear the claws down. The last 15 mins of my dogs walks are on pavements. If moneys no object buy them a walking machine and line it in sand paper! (only joking)  |

| Tali User ID: 1193096 United States12/13/2010 09:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh I have a wicked chihuahua when it comes to nails...we have to break out a towel...roll him in it like a burrito and feed him bits of lunchmeat after each nail...he's gotten better but man he used to be a little monster. Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet. ~Colette |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1115533 United States12/13/2010 09:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I use a Dremel tool - like a sander - on my parrots' nails. No worry about cutting the quick. Takes a little longer to grind, but when I've used it on the Labrador Retriever, he doesn't seem to mind it as much as the clippers. Quoting: MagstarWith this machine, to need to touch and let go. If you keep it too long it will create heat and get by conduction, to the nerve in the nail. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 287857 United States12/13/2010 02:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | walking them on concrete will help quite a bit-or get them to run- lots of ideas-wrapping them up in a mummy wrap and using a file as well or that dog nail trimmer machine(battery powered) give them treats when they let you do it-and make sure not to harm the dogs nailbed or cut too short |
