I have been reading your tip on how to get your dog to have their claws cut without any problems. Part of the advice is to let your dog get used to the buzzing of the clippers on the dogs paw. I've never seen any clippers that buzz when cutting the c
Thank you for submitting your question regarding nail trimming. There are two ways to clip a dog's nails. The first is what you mentioned with actual nail clippers. The other is using an electric dremel to file the nails down. This is likely what the article was referring to with allowing the pet to get used to the noise. I hope this information helps!

Can i make my dog's nails blunt without cutting them? They are not long, but pointy. For some unknown reason, my dog's nails don't grow that much and stay kinda short to the point the point is always near her blood vessels. I'm afraid to cut them, si
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! You could use a nail file to try to keep them more rounded and blunt as opposed to being sharp. There are even some nail files for dogs that are automatic and quite effective. You may find these online or at your local pet store. Good luck!

Hey guys. Is there a nail cutter that cuts dog nails without hurting them? I need to cut my dog’s nails but I’m too scared I’ll hurt them because I don’t know how far down I can cut them.
You can use a nail grinder instead of clippers; these are designed to "file" the nails down rather than cut them and they dramatically decrease the risk of bleeding during a nail trim. Sometimes the noise and or sensation is just as bothersome if not more so than trimming the nails, but it does give you a safer option at home if you are afraid of cutting them too short. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/wahl-premium-nail-grinder Thanks for asking Boop by Petco!

Have a spunky new rescue chihuahua mix and she is skittish. So much so she will resist any efforts to trim her nails. We have 4 dogs so I have trimmed nails hundreds of times--but with Ricki Ricardo, no luck. I sit on the floor and flip them over
Congratulations on your new dog Ricky Ricardo! In my opinion, there’s not really a superior nail trimmer but for small breed dogs, the AKC does recommend the guillotine type as compared to the scissor type. Try conditioning Ricky to have a positive association with the clippers. This can be managed with high value treats and clicker training. Basically you start by rewarding her every time she looks at the clippers (click. treat). Then you gradually bring the clippers closer and touch her with the clippers. Every time she gets a reward. Then you slowly progress to clipping 1 nail (click. treat). And so on and so forth. It may not always be easy but it’s a start and hopefully she will allow it to happen. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

My dog never lets me cut her nails she will start bitting me or pushing me away one of her nails are really long and it looks like if it's going up . When she walks she picks up her paw . I know it hurts her cause she won't let me touch her paw . Wha
Thanks for using Boop by Petco. You have basically two options 1) Get some anti-anxiety medication and try again (or have the vet office try again) 2) take some serious time to train her. Feed treats while you touch the feet. Repeat daily until she has no concern about it. Then continue to give treats while you hold the nail clippers. When she is comfortable with that, progress to touching the clippers to the nail. Finally progress to just clipping the tip of the nail, etc. Best of luck to you and Ash!
