Claws!!!! (Bain of my life with dogs lol)
« on: May 09, 2011, 08:33:22 PM »
Ok..... most of you know what a mare Piper was having her claws clipped  ::) (eh Suz  ;) ) Well.... Sky's just as bad  ::) Managed to clip her dew claws while she was asleep tonight but she soon woke up and sussed what I was doing  :D

I bought a Mikki Nail File a while ago and she actually doesn't mind them being filed but it takes ages and barely makes a difference!!

Any suggestions, I know some of you use a dremmel but I can't afford one, is there a better/stronger nail file available for dogs anywhere?   :help:

the mikki one is that the battery operated one if so yup its fab for my chihuahuas nails but probably quicker watching paint dry than using that on a staff haha!

have you tried ebay sometimes the dremels are fairly cheap ;)

A Pedicure File is what you want  :yes:

Gracie was a nightmare with claws, we called a local groomer to come to the house who did it quick quick no fuss (with me out the room) after about 6 times of her coming Chris is able to do them now, not as quick as groomer but gets em all done.

Have ordered a Pedicaure file, £3.50 plus p&p... apparently they're normally £19.99 so think I have a bargain  ;D

Yes I think it is called that, will let you know how we get on when it arrives! Its just her front claws that get so long! And her due claws, Piper's were removed as a pup so I'm still getting used to those  ::)
