can you get your dogs nails clipped in the vets?

i have had a dog for a few months and i know your suposed to clip their nail at least 1ce a week if you can, but i know that u can really hurt a dog if u cut it wrong, can u go to the vets once to be shown how it is done?<br />

Yes, or a groomer!

It might be cheaper if you went to the groomer's. They know what they're doing there, and would probably be just as nice about it as the vet.

Yes, you can do this and just ask the vets to do it so that u figure out how to do it.

Yes, absolutely, they will show you.

Groomers are usually less expensive than the vet.<br />
<br />
Ask the groomer to show you how, and then you can do it yourself. <br />
I do six of my dogs every week or so (the big dogs wear their nails and dont seem to need it.).

You don't have to clip them every week. Once a month is enough. Yes a vet will show you.<br />

Most vets do it for a small charge if you are already in for an appt. You could always take your pooch into a groomer or to Petco or PetSmart. Most Petcos and Petsmarts have groomers in daily who can easily clip your dogs nails for a few bucks. Plus, those places are a blast for your pup. I would only recommend taking them to those more public places if your pup has had all his/her puppy vaccinations though. we wouldn't want them to get something from another dog.

Yes, or by a groomer. <br />

Yes you can or a pet groomer will do it for a slight charge. It's important not to cut too far or you'll get their cuticle.

yup but it will cost ya. as long as you don't cut too far back you can do it your self see if you can google a diagram of a dogs paw for the purpose of giving you an idea where you can and cant cut.

Yes they can do it for you. You have to pay.

Sure, they'll do that.

I have a 5 yr old pit...his nails only need trimming every 4-6 weeks, the only time I have someone else do it is in the winter months, as we're not outside as much to wear them down naturally. <br />
<br />
My vet charges $7.00...very reasonable.

probs best to go to a groomer...there is a new thing advertised on the tv just now by jml a think it is and its a battery operanted file. so u wont cut into the quick x

weekly is too often,I would do it bi-weekly or every 3 weeks<br />
yes your vet could show you,but make sure you ask if you have to pay the reg charge for just bringing your dog in plus the nail trim<br />
<br />
My Vet charges 11.00<br />
<br />
the groomer charges 10.00 <br />
<br />
I have many dogs and I take 2 in a week and then 2 or 3 the next week,yes i mark it on the calender<br />
I just hate clipping their nails,so far I can afford it,when I can't I was shown how to clip by my Vet

yes or go to a groomer

definitely

Yes, your vet or a groomer will be more than happy to show you how to clip your dog's nails. They will charge you, but if you're like my sister and has dogs with black nails (that you can't see through with a flashlight...we tried) it's worth it to her.
