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.
I trim them myself and it depends on the dog. My husky doesn’t need it that often. Maybe once a month.
My chihuahua mix grows his nails out super fast tho. I have to trim them once or twice a week.
And let me just say, every single “no hurt” safety clipper I have tried is absolute garbage. They tend to crush the nail and not cut it, which is not only inefficient, it definitely can hurt the dog. The kinds that look like a curved pair of tiny scissors are way better, easier to use, easier to make sure you’re not pinching anything or cutting too close to the quick, etc.
