Furwear – Trimming – Nail Clipper – Small

These nail clippers are suitable for small to medium dogs. Nail clipping is sometimes overlooked, but you should be trimming your dog’s nails every 3-4 weeks to minimise sore paws, legs and hips. Easy to use, they have a cutting guard as an added safety feature to prevent any overcutting and create more controlled trimming.

Instructions:
1. Hold your dog’s paw and softly squeeze their paw pad to spread their digits to make trimming easier. Inspect each nail individually before trimming.
2. Begin trimming the nail at a 45 degree angle, taking off a small fraction of the nail at a time.
3. While trimming the nail be careful not to cut too deeply into the quick. If you see a small black dot in the centre of the nail, stop trimming. This is the quick, and cutting it will expose the blood vessel and result in bleeding and pain.

​Remember not to squeeze your dog’s paw too hard because that can hurt them. Keep your dog calm throughout the process with positive reinforcement, even rewarding them with treats.
