{Experience Sharing}--Let dogs fall in love with nail cutting

Foreword

I don't know if you have ever seen a dog's nails cut and bent. Once I took Xiaohua to the pet store to take a bath. While waiting in line, I slowly walked into a Labrador. The nails were bent and could not walk normally. It was an old woman who brought it in. She inquired and learned that the dog was 15 years old and had never cut his nails. Today, I brought it to ask the pet store to help cut his nails. Because the dog could not walk normally, the neighbor said that the pet shop could cut its nails. The beautician of the pet shop shook his head when he saw it, saying that it was too long, and that the dog might resist when it was cut, and that it needed subsequent treatment. Poor little guy, because of this, I think it is necessary to share how to make dogs fall in love with nail clipping and stop resisting!

The Harm of Dog's Long Nails

1. Too long nails can affect the dog's walking, and even cause pain in the dog's walking, as mentioned above in the elderly dog-Labrador

Xiaohua Real Scratch Incident

Floret is black claws, I am very worried about cutting the blood line, so I did not cut its nails, resulting in nails too long and sharp, when interacting with me accidentally scratched me, the little guy himself is super painful, in fact, dogs do not cut their nails, not only hurt people but also hurt themselves!

Nail clipping--tool preparation

Nail clippers for dogs

Be sure to choose the dog special oh, I bought a total of two, I personally prefer the yellow, because the use of grip is not too big, green is more difficult to use, yellow is more light oh ~

Disinfectant wipes or alcohol cotton balls

Prepare disinfectant wipes to disinfect and remove powder from the dog's polished paws. Alcohol cotton balls can be used to wipe tools. I always have disinfectant wipes and alcohol cotton balls at home, which can be used to disinfect and clean toys.

A nail sharpener

Although the purchase of nail clippers sent a nail sharpener, but I personally feel that the use of electric nail sharpener will be more secure, polishing can be fast, gear can also choose, the dog will not be so afraid, Xiaohua used manual before, I can not grasp the strength, make it unhappy ~

Hemostatic powder

Must be necessary, if the scissors blood line bleeding, this is the first aid medicine, a small bottle can be used for a long time!

First nail clipping experience

Many dogs are afraid to cut their nails and resist. The first time Xiaohua cut her nails, it was earth-shaking. I was nervous when I cut her nails for the first time. In addition, Xiaohua had black nails. My hands trembled and I couldn't catch it. I cut it for half an hour, and I was sweating!

Self-examination

With the first experience, my heart is still very resistant, query a lot of information, but the steps are right, I thought, is my fault! For the first time,

Dogs love to cut their nails -- a familiarity exercise

Select the implementation site

I chose a sunny balcony around, because the light is enough, you can see the blood line of the floret, although not very clear, but the bottom of the heart, at the same time this position is sunny, first lure the floret over, play together, let it relax first, so as not to be nervous

Familiarize yourself with tools

When I realized that it was my fault, I began to correct the mistake. I piled up all the tools, nail clippers, nail sharpeners, hemostatic powder and disinfectant wipes in front of the little flower and let it play freely. I watched to make sure that it would not hurt it, so that it would not feel terrible and would not resist it from the heart!

Be familiar with that sound of a nail sharpener

The sound of this nail sharpener is super small, but it still produces vibration. The last time I approached the little flower, I was scared to run away. This time, instead of holding its claws, I opened it first to listen to the sound. I saw the little guy's nose coming to feel it. I was so scared that I thought it was worn out. Fortunately, it has grooves! When it

Dogs love to cut their nails -- it's time to cut

1. Observe the color of the dog's nails. Generally, the first half of the transparent color can be cut off. My family is a small black dog. I can't see the blood line accurately, but I cut it a little bit. The length of each cut is estimated to be only 0.2cm, very short, and then grind it with a nail sharpener, which is safer!

Note: If pruning it ends up bleeding, you need to apply hemostatic powder to it to help stop bleeding, although the flowers are not bleeding, but I have been prepared!

2. After cutting, you need to use a nail sharpener to polish it. After polishing, it is recommended to use a disinfectant wet towel to wipe it with your paws to remove the powdery nail powder. It can also disinfect and sterilize

Xiaohua Ma Ma has something to say.

In fact, I personally suggest that if the dog with black paws can go to the pet shop for trimming, learn from the pet doctor twice, and then trim it at home to ensure that it is safe.
