To use, ensure your dog is calm and still. If your dog is new to having their claws trimmed, it may help to have another person present to hold your dog.
Hold the dog's toe firmly, keeping it still. Open the clippers by pulling the safety catch downwards. The scissors have a guard which can be used to ensure only a small amount of nail is cut. Place the clipper over the very end of the claw, and close it to remove the end of the claw.
Important: Remove only the very end of the claw. Cutting too much of the claw can cut the quick (a vein that rat runs through the claw) causing pain.
For dogs with dark claws, it is difficult to see the quick, try looking from underneath the claw.
No matter how long the claws are, proceed with caution and cut only the very end of the claw off.
Long claws should be regularly clipped by small amounts to help the quick recede.

Grooming is a wonderful way to bond with your pet, but dogs or cats that are new to grooming should be introduced to it slowly.
Begin grooming sessions when your pet is relaxed.
Give your pet plenty of reassurance and make physical contact with your hands throughout the grooming session.
Pause or end the grooming session if your pet becomes agitated or shows signs of stress.
Keep grooming sessions brief to begin with, and increase the length of the sessions as your pet becomes used to grooming.
