Just curious what the lemmy hive mind has to say. I recently rescued a 6 mos year old puppy and his nails were trimmed down proper. It’s been 2 weeks now and I can noticeably hear them clanking on the floor but still look pretty darn short to me.

My last dogs I had I didn’t quite keep their nails that short but I probably should have.

    Trim the puppies nails as often as you can (safely ofc). Get them used to being groomed so as adults they don’t freak out

      Absolute. I have been touching his paws everyday. I have a nail grinder and soon will be bringing that around to get him used to it before I actually do any grinding.

      I wanna get this pup raised right!

        I keep nail clippers next to the treats. I knew the trade was working when my dog would go over and lift its paw up
