Nails: how short is short enough

If you can hear your dog’s nails clicking on a hard floor, they’re too long. Long nails change how a dog stands and can make older dogs sore.

Little and often

Taking a tiny amount every week encourages the quick to recede. One big trim a month doesn’t.

If you cut too far

Press a pinch of cornflour or styptic powder onto the nail for a minute. It looks dramatic but it stops quickly. Or walk in any open hour and we’ll do them for you.
