There’s an easy way to know if your dog is overdue nail clipping and that is the sound of click-click-click of the nails on hard floors. You can take your dog to a professional groomer for a manicure, or you can do it yourself.

If you try to cut corners you may end up cutting your dog’s paw by accident.
Dogs have tough feet but the quick of the nail is still very tender, so you need to have a good idea of the limit of how high to cut. On paler and clear nails the quick is clearly visible by its pink color, it is trickier with dark nails.

Once the major clipping has been done, taking care not to trim the nails too short, check the edges for jagged or rough edges and tidy.
