Instructions
Step 1
How to cut a dog's claws
When your dog starts clattering against the hardwood floor, you should consider trimming them. Too long claws that the animal is unable to grind off (say, on the asphalt for a walk) can cause a lot of inconvenience to both himself and the owner.
Use a guillotine claw to trim your dog's nails. It is best to do this together, especially if the dog is large. One person holds the pet, and the second carefully cuts off its claws. Alternatively, you can file the nails with a nail file, but this procedure is very lengthy.
Step 2
How to cut a cat's claws
For this we need a claw cutter. Find a cat and sit on your lap. Take her foot with two fingers and gently press on the pads so that a claw appears.
If the claw is transparent, you will see how to cut it off so as not to touch the blood vessels. If the claw is pigmented, try to cut off only the very edge. Remember - the claw is not cut evenly, but at a slight angle to its pointed part.
Step 3
How to cut claws for rodents
Place your rat, hamster, or guinea pig on a flat surface and carefully trim the animal's claws. To cut the claws on its hind legs, the animal will have to be slightly raised. Of course, it is better to cut claws for rodents with someone else's help.
Be careful. The claw should be cut very carefully so as not to touch the pulp. Do not cut the claw at right angles - the cut should follow the natural profile of the claw.
