Bleed so we’re just going to trim a Little bit lower than that so in this Case we’re probably going to take about Three millimeters off this rather Pointed nail ok now if we just look at The cut surface we can see that we’re Okay we’ve not hit the quick just take a Few minutes sometimes or a few seconds Of these for any blood to appear so Don’t clip too many before you check What you’re doing and if you can Sometimes see a little black mark there That’s a sign you’re very close to it as Your fell well done so I’m just going to Trim the rest of them for him Now kg when you’re doing is the wolf Fidget about a bit he’s actually been Pretty good if you give patients a bit Of a fidget it is sometimes a good idea Just to put your finger but the level You want to cut so if they move wash Your cutting you don’t trim something You don’t want to so a little bit like I’m doing now that in view okay that one Doesn’t they do sometimes the back Floors aren’t quite as long as the front So have a quick look at him and take Some points off of his they’re not too Bad You’re a good boy aren’t you okay now if You’re having go Turing nails is the First on your dogs had at nails trimmed Little word of warning sometimes I said Do get very upset so do be very careful
