Nail trim
Long nails change the way an animal puts its weight down and end up hurting the joints. Cutting them looks simple until you hit the quick and they never let you near again. Here it's done by someone who knows where the limit is and who works slowly with animals that have had a bad experience.
Frequently asked questions
How often do nails need cutting?
When you can hear them on a hard floor, they're already long. It usually works out every three or four weeks, except in dogs that walk a lot on tarmac, who file them down themselves.
What happens if the quick gets cut?
It bleeds and it hurts. It's a wound. What matters is that it doesn't happen again: an animal that's been hurt once remembers the clippers, not the person, gets nervous, and it becomes easier to make the same mistake again because they won't stop moving to get away.
And black nails, how do you see it?
You can't see the quick, so you cut in very short steps and look at the cut face: when a white dot appears in the middle, you stop. With black nails you cut less and more often.
