Cutting toe Nails

We take most of our pet dogs for walking on roads. This will not only keep the dogs fit and healthy but also ensures that their nails are properly maintained. I mean to say that when their nails rub on rough surfaces they automatically gets trimmed and does not grow long. In this case, you need not take extra care to cut their nails. However, in some cases we have dogs that always walks in the garden or smooth flooring surfaces, etc. These dogs need to have their nails cut on a regular basis.

One way is to take the dog to the vet on a monthly basis and have it cut or bring the vet home and have it done. The other way is to buy the nail cutter that are being sold especially for pets. You can use them to cut your dogs nails. Now what is the length up to which you can cut? Just ensure you leave few centimeters from the toes and then cut the nails. If you cut more then the dog will start bleeding on the nails and it will be very painful for him. So its always okay to leave the nail little longer rather than hurting the pet. In this case you can check the nail growth on a weekly basis and have it cut.
