Ever tried to walk in shoes with your toe nails too long?

Ever cut your nails too short?

Both can be uncomfortable, even painful. Well it’s the same for your dogs, especially for those dogs who don’t have the strongest of nails or feet.

Usually, all that needs doing is having the ends clipped off the nails every grooming visit at Top Dog Groomers Chester.

If more needs taking off and the ‘quick’ is visible, then this is an easy task. However, if the ‘quick’ isn’t visible, then I will still only take the tips off: cutting the quick is very painful and I therefore strongly recommend you don’t do this task yourself purely in case of cutting the ‘quick’.

Regularly cutting in this correct way retracts the ‘quick’ in the end allowing for shorter and more comfortable nails for your dog. It also prevents long and unmanageable ‘quicks’.
