People owners must learn a lot of skills when raising dogs. Only in this way can they take good care of their pets. So today we will talk about how pet owners should cut their dog's nails. If you haven't mastered the skills yet, come and learn quickly.

Point 1: Find the right tool

If you want to cut your dog's nails, you must buy nail clippers that are suitable for your dog. There are two types of pet nail clippers we can see on the market, one is similar to scissors and the other is similar to guillotine. These two types of nail clippers have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can first use nail clippers similar to scissors to help your dog cut off a longer part, and then use nail clippers similar to switch knives to clean them.

Point 2: Keep the dog in a comfortable position

People owners must pay attention to the dog's posture when cutting their nails. In order to prevent dogs from accidentally reducing the toes of dogs from attacking suddenly, pet owners can place one wrist on the dog's neck and help dogs cut their nails by hugging them behind their backs. You can also place the dog between your legs to fix it, so that the dog will not twist the body forcefully and accidents will not happen.

If your dog is not very cooperative, then you can keep the dog lying on his side. At the same time, pet owners must hold the dog's neck with their arms, or cut their nails by hugging them behind their backs. Moreover, before cutting your nails, it is best for parents to prepare hemostatic powder or disinfectant cotton balls for hemostatic prescription.

The most important point is that after pet owners help their dogs cut their nails, they must give them encouragement and rewards, either caress or snacks, which can also comfort the dog's hurt heart.
