Nail Trimming

Fri, Nov 6th 2009, 10:54 GMT

Ok so here is the thing, I was trying to trim another dogs nails that are REALLY long (there like all curvy and stuff) now this is new to me because I am used to trimming sunny�s nails that are cut once a week. So here is my question; In the nail there is the pink/red little thing that is very easy to see and recognize as the quick, this goes about � way up the nail. Then for the rest of the nail is this white stuff (in some dogs I have also seen clear, hollow nail after this) but my question is if the white stuff is part of the quick and if it will hurt if I cut it. The only thing I am really worried about is that I think the dog might bite me if I hurt him. I am really sorry if this question does not make sense please paw mail me and I can try to explain further. Thank you sooooo much for any answers, sunny

How to get rid of reddish tear stains on Papillons face.

Thu, Sep 24th 2009, 06:08 GMT

My 7 mo. old Papillon has reddish tear stains on her face. She's had them since before I got her at 14 wks. I don't think it's her food; she gets a good quality food, Innova. The breeder gave her Eukanuba. I got some Angel Eyes but she hates the taste when i mix it with her food so that was a waste of money. I also clean around her eyes with these special eye cleaning pads that i got from Fosters and Smith. They work somewhat but the staining still is kinda severe. Any suggestions?

Shaving poodle ears?

Wed, Aug 26th 2009, 12:56 GMT

I kind of want to shave Desmond's ears down, but I'm not decided yet. I want to know how for future reference though. The ears are so thin and delicate, I don't want to hurt him if I shave them. Any specific way to shave the ears safely?

help grooming my poodle puppy

Tue, Jul 28th 2009, 12:30 GMT

he is 4 months old and i have been grooming him myself since i got him. he is used to the clippers and scissors now, but he still hates getting his nails clipped, but i have never clipped them too short, or to the quick. I have tried clipping a few nails a day and giving treats after, but he still fights it. He is also hates getting brushed. I've tried many different brushes and i introduced him to the entire grooming process when he was 8 weeks old. What else can i do to make him more comfortable during grooming.

How can I get my little Chloe to set still while grooming her? She bites at the scissors, runs from the clippers.

Mon, Jul 27th 2009, 16:02 GMT

Chloe acts like I am going to hurt her, I got her when she was 9 months old and she had been mistreated. I have had her now going on 2 years and she has opened up a lot but come towards her with scissors or clippers and she turns into a little monster. Anyone please help.

how do Cut my dogs toenails without loosing my fingers.

Wed, Jul 8th 2009, 05:47 GMT

My poodle mix gets very aggressive and will attack your hand and make you bleed when you try to cut her toenails. I've had her since she was a puppy and now she's 2 years old. I've always had this problem with her. We have to take her to the groomers to have it done. Should I muzzel her or is there something else I can do.
