Occasionally the quick (blood supply) running through the nail can be very long which means there is a small chance of it being nicked. We usually ask owners to stay out of the room whilst we do a nail clipping – this is because dogs often play up when their owner is in the room – you would be surprised how well behaved most dogs are for us when the owner isn’t there! If we feel that it would benefit your dog to have you in the room for comfort then we will come and ask you to join us. If in any doubt, please talk to us prior to your appointment so we can be prepared. We always clip in teams of two so one of us can comfort your pooch whilst the other undertakes the nail clipping! We will go at your dog’s pace and make them feel secure so even if they don’t enjoy the experience, at least they won’t feel stressed! Unfortunately, we are unable to trim the nails of aggressive (rather than nervous) dogs. Our dedicated team specialise in nail clipping nervous dogs. My dog HATES having his nails clipped, how will you manage? If you they look pointed, you can hear them click on the floor or they are touching the floor then they are too long! Claws should sit about 4mm off the ground. You don’t need to book during the week but we are very busy so it is preferable to make an appointment which can be done by phone 01484 246420 or you can book here We offer nail clippings Monday-Friday and one Sunday Clinic per Month. Most nail clips take around 5 minutes but some can be a little longer if your dog is nervous and needs lots of cuddles and treats in between paws. Remember, the earlier your dog gets used to having their nails done, the easier it is to keep on top of them and is less likely for them to become fearful of having them done. We offer a first puppy trim for FREE up to 16 weeks old. We recommend starting as soon as the nails are long enough (or feel like needles!). We can trim the dew claws only for £5.Īt what age should I start getting my puppy’s nails clipped? As they don’t touch the floor, they often grow very long and curled so even if the rest of the nails don’t need trimming, the dew claws might. The dew claws sit higher up on the ankle – some dogs only have them on the front legs but some also have them on the hind legs too. What if I only need the Dew Claws clipping? We charge £8 per dog or you can buy a package deal of 6 for 5 (£40) Our popular nail trimming service is undertaken at our premises in Slaithwaite, Huddersfield in our treatment room.
