Nails

 

Nail clipping is the most horrifying experience in grooming for the animal, pet parent, or groomer - by FAR!

If a professional groomer or bather makes "lite" of nail trimming, that should be a HUGE RED FLAG!!!

This is one of those "DO NOT try this at home!" things, unless you REALLY know what you're doing.

YES you can hurt them and it IS a big deal, I don't care what anyone tells you, VETS included.

This is the biggest cause of trauma for dogs in the grooming environment. Most of the time, it is well-meaning pet parents, who are really trying to be responsible, who screw their poor dogs up for life! 

And yes, YES, there are more ignorant and careless groomers out there than you care to know about!  

#PETPEAVE

Many groomers and vets will tell you that it's no big deal to quick them (cut the nail so short that it cuts the blood vessel and bleeds). All you do is put a little Quick Stop (styptic powder) on it to stop the bleeding and they're fine! BULLSHIT!!! Along with that blood vessel (all blood vessels!) are NERVES! And it hurts to cut them! How could it NOT hurt??? That's what nerves are for! To FEEL.

​

An animals paws are one of the most sensitive parts of their body. They depend on their paws GREATLY!!! Without the full use of their paws, animals are very vulnerable.

 

"No One can do her nails!!".... Yeah, I've heard that a lot.

1) There's an obvious reason for that!

2) I've done almost as many "impossible" nail trims as I have easy ones... Leaving people absolutely amazed at how I did that with no

biting, no muzzle, no screaming, no trauma...! And most of the time, no need for Kwik Stop! (Accidents do happen, even with the best of us.)

BAM!

I know what I'm doing!

 

And the fact that I've successfully done so many impossible nail trims with no trauma is proof of what I say - That there are HOARDS of so-called "trained" "professional" groomer/bathers out there that are NOT trained properly and are by NO MEANS the standard of a professional!

No Apologies!!!
