Our girl is not compliant in the nail clipping department. We said forget it and took her to a groomers where she waited in a cage for 3 hours for her turn, and then they said they couldn't do it!</p> <p>Our vet gave us meds to mellow her out before a vet's visit. Never used them, but think I may give her a pill next time she's due for a nail clipping and see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727645 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:35:55 +0000 Mrs. Polish 727645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We walk the dog on the sidewalk and they get filed down. That is a super lame answer, I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727630 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:34:40 +0000 MrsRoo 727630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm impressed with you cat mamas being brave enough to clip their nails. I was terrified of being scratched by my cats growing up!! </p> <p>The groomers do our dog nails, but we use the pedi-paws in between so they don't get too sharp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727490 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:22:49 +0000 Bao 727490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: just a nail trim for $5 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727330 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:01:17 +0000 MrsH 727330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I had no idea. Does your cat get a bath and nail trim? How much? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727322 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:00:06 +0000 Bao 727322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: the one right down the road from me does :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727312 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:59:11 +0000 Dandelion 727312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: lol, yep both cats know where the treats are after their nails are done. I think that's why Jewel sits so nicely. She REALLY loves treats, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727311 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:59:06 +0000 MrsH 727311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: groomers groom cats? We just rescued one a couple of months ago, I've never owned a cat before.</p> <p>Our vet or groomer do our dogs nails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727301 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:57:08 +0000 mrs. 64 727301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Haha I love it. Sounds like our house.</p> <p>We have to wrap the cat up in a towel and pull out one paw at a time. He screams like he's being murdered but conveniently hops up and runs over to the treat drawer when I'm done. The dog behaves better but her nails are hard to cut and it makes me more nervous to do hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-727227 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:45:59 +0000 LaineysMom 727227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but my yorkie needs to have his hair cut every 6-8 weeks, so he gets them cut then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-726888 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:51:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 726888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little dog sits calmly and lets me cut hers. Our big dog freaks out, so he has them done at the vet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-726862 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:48:28 +0000 .twist. 726862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I trim our cats nails. I wrap him in a towel so that i can control how many limbs are out at one time. LOL. Which is one limb at a time or else I will get clawed to death! Then I sit in the bathroom with the door closed and put him in my lap and as QUICKLY but as safely as possible, I cut his nails. </p> <p>DH just takes the dog in the garage and tells him to sit and he sits still while DH clips his nails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-726857 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:47:50 +0000 Dandelion 726857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to put Zeus in a pillow case and pull his foot out to clip his nails, cause nail clipping turns him into a freak. </p> <p>With Jewel, my tabby, she'll sit nicely in my lap and let me do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-726847 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:46:48 +0000 Cara M. 17 726847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take our two dogs to the local groomer. She uses a dremmel. DH used to clip them but just barely knicked the quick once and now our dogs won't let us clip them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-trim-your-pets-nails#post-717642 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:45:00 +0000 Bao 717642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't do it often enough, but we usually have to take our cat to the groomers to get her nails trimmed. She is way too feisty for us to try and do it on our own. Do you take your pet to the groomers to get their nails trimmed or do it yourself? If you do it yourself, any tips on how? </p>
