Default Dogs nails

My dogs nails need clipped. We live in Hadley Village. Any idea where to get this done, perhaps close by? Thanks a lot

Any dog groomer or vet will do it for a fee. You can buy a dog nail clipper at a pet supply store and do it yourself as well. Just don't cut the fleshy part of the nail.

I Do not clip them. Buy a peti paws or dremel like polisher/sander, and just sand them down. It works great. My daughter bought me a peti paws but I prefer my dremel.
Just run it a bit and let your dog hear it and see it for a bit before you start. My dog definitely prefers it to clipping.

I agree, the dremel is great! I used to clip mine but they were always rough and would still scratch even when short. The last time they needed done I took them to the vet and had them use the dremel and all 3 of my babies did just fine. When they got home their nails were soft and rounded on the ends so they didn't scratch when they jumped up and there was no clicking noise when they ran through the house on our hardwood floors!

I will definitely have their nails done with the dremel from now on.
