Do you have a breed of dog that needs its nails trimmed regularly? Not all dogs require regular nail trimming but if you have a breed that does, you may want to reconsider how you have their nails trimmed from now on. Whether you trim your dog's nails yourself or you have a groomer do it for you, there is still some risk involved when using the typical pet nail trimmer. Dog nail grinders are a much safer and effective way to trim your dog's nails.
The Dangers of Typical Dog Nail Trimmers
First of all when trimming your dog's nail, you are always guessing how far to cut. Just like our fingernails, it can hurt when trimmed to short or if we hurt our nails in some way. Have you ever had your finger slammed right where your nail is located? It hurts really bad and the pain is something you do not forget. This is exactly how your dog may be feeling when it is time to have his nails trimmed. You may experience that your dog runs away or fusses each time you trim their nails. Can you blame him for feeling terrified of the nail trimmers?
Many dog owners make the mistake of cutting dog nails from the wrong position. They often start from the top down. Cutting your dog's nails with trimmers should be approached from underneath.
Another common mistake is that people tend to cut too close to pink area of the dog's nails. This is where bleeding can occur and where it is very painful to your dog. Between the dog fidgeting and you overestimating where to cut, bleeding is a common occurrance when cutting a dog's nails. If you have a dog whose nails are very dark, you risk cutting too close to the nail's quick even more so.
A Safer Way to Trim Your Dog's Nails
The invention of dog nail grinders have made trimming dog nails safer and pain-free. Since the the dog nail grinder shaves down the nail smoothly, you don't risk cutting back the nail too far causing pain and bleeding. You also don't have to worry about filing down the jagged edges of a cut nail. A dog nail grinder smoothes the nails as it shaves away the excess.
Giving your dog a pedicure will no longer become a hassle and he will stop the fidgeting and fussing that used to happen with typical nail trimming with clippers. If you have trouble telling where your dog's nail quick starts, it is an imperative to consider purchasing a dog nail grinder. Why would you want to put your dog though any pain? Most people do not realize that simple nail trimming can be torture for a dog.
