Good questions
Before you begin.
How often do nails need clipping?
Every three to six weeks suits many dogs. If you can hear clicking on a hard floor, they are probably too long.
Can I do my dog's nails at home?
Some owners do, but cutting into the quick is painful. Ask a groomer or vet nurse to show you first.
Is a tidy-up the same as a groom?
No. It is a short maintenance visit, not a bath or a full trim.
What if my dog will not let anyone touch their feet?
Say so when you book. A patient groomer can work in short steps with treats, and some visits are best done in several short sessions.
