Trimming Your Dog's Nails with a Nail Grinder

This is a brief video explaining how we use a nail grinder to keep our dog's nails nice and short without clipping and potentially really hurting our dog's little paws!

Summary of Steps

--Ensure proper extensions are installed on the tool
--Have someone help you. Have them hold the dog's paw firmly so they can't jerk it away from you.
--Hold one toe/nail at a time, and file it as short as you can.
--Repeat for all nails.
--Treats make this more pleasant at first!
--Repeat process approximately once a week until your dog's nails are the desired length, then you can do it every other week to maintain.

--The quick (part of your dog's nail that can bleed if you cut it) will recede into the nail, allowing the nails to be shorter than they currently have been able to be.
