Nail clipping

Nail clipping can be scary the first time you do it. Cutting the kwik makes it a bad experience for you and your dog. Be careful, and take your time.

First, you will need syptic powder and nail clippers. There are lots of different kinds, but I will demonstrate nail clipping with a popular type. Dog nail clippers are different from human clippers, as shown in the picture.

Second you will need to find a nail that needs to be clipped. Part it from all the other toes and hair, so that there is nothing in the way. Make sure to grab on to it tightly, so it does not wiggle when being clipped. It could cause pain for the dog if you don't.

Before picking up the clippers, identify where the kwik is (if you can see it) and choose how much of the nail you want to take off. Then, quickly lift up the clippers and snap a piece off. Repeat with each nail until finished. 

If you a accidental get the kwik, do not panic. Take a cotton ball, and put a dab off syptic powder on it. Then, put it on the nail.

Good luck nail clipping!

Back to Blogging

I have not been on my blog for a long time because my old Facebook account was deleted for being underage (12) luckily I turned 13 March 1st. Since my account was deleted, my Everything Dogs Facebook page was gone as well. I'm not planning on bringing it back anytime soon, but eventually I will.

So, I do not have any certain schedule. But I got this awesome blog app for my iPod and I plan on writing some blog posts on there. (Like this one!)

Also, I've been getting into grooming now. I love it so much, it is a blast!! I've also been starting a very little business grooming other people's dogs for free. I can update my blog with pictures every time I groom :)

But anyways,
I'm happy to be writing on Everything Dogs again!!
