She went to the Vets a month ago for an injury. They had to sedate her to work with her. While under, they trimmed her nails. I thought that was great!
My brother has a special grinder tool made for keeping dog nails short. Has anyone else used one of those? We couldn't use it on my dog as the sound terrifies her.
I have never used a grinder to keep my dogs' nails short. I do have a grinder which I use to do my work but I have never thought of using it for my dogs. When I need to trim the nails without clipping it, I just use an emery board. My dogs don't have any problems with that.
