How to Train Your Pet to Trim Its Claws: This Method Works Flawlessly for Both Dogs and Cats

Many pet owners complain that their pet becomes so aggressive when they see a nail clipper that it is impossible to trim its claws.

However, even professionals are powerless if the cat starts wriggling and scratching, and the dog tries to bite off the hand through the muzzle.

In this case, the doctor sends the disobedient patient home with a prescription for sedatives and invites him to come back for a follow-up appointment in a couple of days, when the medicine has accumulated in the body.

Instead of constantly resorting to such tricks, owners should take care to accustom their pet to scissors, a grinder or a comb.

Fortunately, this is not so difficult to do if you remember that any animal will willingly perform the action required of it if it knows that it will receive something for it.

For example, if the cat itself came up to the comb to sniff it, offer it its favorite treat. You should do the same if the dog did not run away at the sight of the claw cutter.

Encourage any interest in care items, and then gradually develop the skill of calmly enduring the procedures. The important word is gradually.
