Good info. That sweet dog should be getting praise for being so good.
Thank you 🎉. Well done. 😊
Thank you, sir. Yes, everyone says go under the dog, from the inside first, then outward (not from the outside first). Always.
This is the best video I have watched on cutting chi’s nails. I have a very small girl . I can’t afford groomers atm so am going to try myself. This was SO helpfully. Thank You ✨️
That lifting the back leg too high is what mostof the dog nail trimmers have done with my dogs. It’s made my dogs fight having their nails cut. Wish I could find a trimmer who works like you do and doesn’t say my dog is ‘bad.”
