Trim dog nails like a pro with these easy-to-follow instructions

Click, click, click, click – the sound of your dog’s nails clicking on the floor can drive you nuts. It’s also a sign that she’s in dire need of a pooch pedicure. But if you don’t want to take your dog to a groomers to have it professionally done, you can learn to trim dog nails yourself.

But when you trim dog nails, it can be a scary process – for you and your dog. Your dog may not like her paws man-handled and the sound of the nail clippers. And you don’t want to cut too much of her nail off, as that can lead to bleeding. Follow the steps below for a painless and perfect pooch pedicure every time.
