As groomers, this is probably one of the biggest complaints we hear right up there with having to shave a matted dog 😂🐾
“Were their nails even clipped? They still feel sharp!”
While it’s absolutely possible that we may forget nails from time to time (we’re human! 🤪), it’s definitely a rarity. Nail trimming is actually one of the first steps of the grooming process. The exception is a dog who becomes very stressed by having their nails done in that case, we may wait until the end to avoid starting their groom on a stressful note.
Here’s something many pet parents don’t realize: freshly clipped nails can actually feel SHARPER ✂️
Every dog’s nails are different depending on their age, how quickly they grow, how often they’re trimmed, and the length of the quick. We can only safely trim them back so far.
We also love using the Dremel to smooth those freshly cut edges, but not every dog will tolerate the sound or sensation of it and we will never force them. 💗
Our priority is always to get your pet’s nails as short and smooth as we safely can while keeping their comfort and stress level in mind.
Sometimes a freshly clipped nail is a sharp nail but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t clipped! 🐾
