Here are tips from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/about-us\/veterinarians-staff.html\">our team<\/a> to help make at-home nail trims as stress-free as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Trim a Pet\u2019s Nails?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trimming your pet\u2019s nails should be part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/more-than-just-a-pretty-face-the-art-of-home-pet-grooming\/\">home pet grooming<\/a> routine. Long nails put excess pressure on nail beds and make walking uncomfortable, plus, they can get caught on furniture or rugs. When your pet tries to pull free, she can tear the nail off or injure her leg. And severely overgrown nails can curl under and dig into the paw pad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nail Trimming Strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning how to trim a cat\u2019s nails or how to trim a dog\u2019s nails requires patience and perseverance. Here\u2019s a step-by-step approach to start you off on the right paw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start Early<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The perfect time to get your pet accustomed to nail trimming is when she\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/pet-care\/puppy-kitten-wellness.html\">puppy or kitten<\/a>. But even older pets can get comfortable with having their paws touched. Begin by lovingly handling your pet, playing with her paws, and gently squeezing her toes to make her nails visible. Reward her with a treat (if she\u2019s food motivated) or plenty of praise and scritches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Right Stuff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chewy.com\/s?query=pet%20nail%20trimmer%20&amp;nav-submit-button=\">pet nail trimmer<\/a> that suits your pet\u2019s species and size. The decision to cut or grind dog nails depends on the size of the dog and thickness of the nails. We are happy to recommend appropriate grooming tools at your pet\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/veterinary-services\/pet-wellness.html\">wellness visit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Polite Introductions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your pet is comfortable with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-your-cats-paws\/\">having her paws handled<\/a>, introduce the nail clipper or grinder and just let her see it and sniff it. You want her to know there\u2019s nothing to be scared of. Always reward her for staying calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby Steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your pet is at ease with being handled and having the grooming tools nearby, gently squeeze one toe until the nail is extended, and trim the very tip only so you don\u2019t cut the quick. Try one or two more nails and then stop. Reward her and let her move on. Let your pet\u2019s reaction determine your rate of progress until you\u2019re able to trim all of your pet\u2019s nails\u2014or as many as she will allow in one sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask Us for Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting your pet used to having her nails trimmed takes time and patience. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> for more advice on how to trim a cat\u2019s nails or how to trim a dog\u2019s nails, or to schedule a visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your pet\u2019s toenails are click, click, clicking their way across the floor it means it\u2019s time for a \u201cpeticure.\u201d A cat\u2019s nails typically need trimming every two to three weeks, while a dog\u2019s nails need clipped every two to six weeks depending upon the breed and lifestyle.&nbsp; Taking your pet to a professional groomer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,28,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-for-the-dogs","category-pet-grooming-style","category-the-cats-meow-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tips for Trimming Your Pet&#039;s Nails | Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you find at difficult to trim your pet&#039;s nails at home?
