Wait, There's More!
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
For those of you who are feeling a little DIY-inclined, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Know your dog's nails: Some pups have dark nails, making it hard to see the quick (the blood vessel inside the nail). If you're not sure, err on the side of caution and let the professionals handle it.
- Invest in the right clippers: Dull clippers are a recipe for disaster (and a screaming dog).
- Take it slow and steady: Clipping a little at a time is the best approach to avoid the dreaded "quicking" (accidentally clipping the vein).
**How-To FAQs for the Fearless DIYer
- How to identify the quick? The quick is usually a pink or red area in the center of the nail. If you see it, stop clipping!
- How often should I trim my dog's nails? This depends on your dog's breed and activity level. Generally, every 4-8 weeks is a good rule of thumb.
- How do I calm my dog down during a nail trim? Enlist a friend to hold your pup while you clip, or try offering them a yummy distraction like peanut butter.
- How do I stop the bleeding if I accidentally clip the quick? Don't panic! Apply gentle pressure with a styptic powder or cornstarch to stop the bleeding.
- How do I know if it's time to call a professional? If your dog is super anxious, has dark nails, or you're just not comfortable doing it yourself, head to Petco for a stress-free (for you and your pup) experience!
So there you have it! No more living in fear of shredded furniture or impromptu claw massages. With Petco's nail trims, you can keep your pup looking sharp (without the accidental Edward Scissorhands situation) and your sanity intact. Happy clipping!
