Correct trimming of Yorkie's nails: how to trim step by step

The length of a dog's nails is important. If the nails are too long, the Yorkie will not be able to walk. Overgrown claws can damage the paw pads. Injuries to the pads will serve as an “open” gateway for infection. This will harm the joints and interfere with the normal formation of the limbs. Properly trimming a Yorkie's nails is not such a simple process. This will require certain skills; you need to have an idea of how a dog’s claws are structured, how to hold your pet during the procedure, and much more.

Do Yorkies need nail trimming?

If your Yorkie's nails do not grind down naturally, they must be trimmed. At first glance, if a dog lives in the city and regularly walks on the asphalt, then its claws should grind down on their own. However, each pet is unique in its own way. The dog steps on the ground with 4 toes, the 5th is located high and does not always grind down. Therefore, the claw on this finger is constantly growing. Over time, it begins to interfere or begins to grow into the pad. The pet experiences pain and may refuse to go for walks altogether.

In addition, the claws can break, crack, and even lead to suppuration. The animal cannot walk normally. The distribution of the load on the paws is disrupted. Therefore, in the absence of regular haircuts, deformation of the joint, bones, and generally poor posture may occur. Regular nail trimming can help prevent these problems.

Why do Yorkies have their nails trimmed?

So, regular nail trimming is an important hygiene procedure. It allows not only to prevent possible health problems in the animal. Yorkie's long claws can scratch the floor, damage furniture or the owners' clothes. Or even cause injury to the pet itself.

A Yorkie's neglected claws are not only very unsightly and spoil the appearance of their paws. With such paws, a dog may not be allowed to participate in the exhibition, since it is considered a defect. It's not just that. Overgrown claws will prevent the dog from moving beautifully. The pet will not be able to place its paws correctly. Which may serve as a reason for disqualification for the commission.

Nails that are too long can eventually grow into the pads of the paws. This will cause very painful sensations. Trying to get rid of them, the dog will chew its paws and cause harm to itself. As a result, the pet will limp. And with a serious inflammatory process, it may even die due to an infectious disease.

Useful tips

Long hair between the toes should be trimmed so that it does not get in the way during the procedure. To do this, purchase special scissors with rounded edges. This procedure is performed 1-2 times a month to simplify access to each claw and relieves the dog of the threat of dirt accumulation on the paws and pathogenic microflora in them.
In winter, snow accumulates on the fur between the pads, which is why a dog of small breeds can slip and even scratch its paws until they bleed. The fur between the pads can also become matted, which can make the dog uncomfortable while walking. Hair clipping is the best way to prevent fungal infections that occur in conditions of high humidity.
The best time to trim nails is when your pet has just returned from a walk or has eaten and is feeling sleepy. In this state, he will not resist much.
The most important thing to do before trimming nails is to make sure that the dog is in a good mood and not stressed. If the dog has never had its nails trimmed before, on the day of the scheduled procedure you should sit next to it several times and, clicking the nail clipper, talk to it affectionately. The animal must understand that this tool does not pose any danger.
Remember: the procedure for trimming nails should be associated with positive, not negative emotions for the dog. To make nail trimming enjoyable for your pet, stock up on his favorite treat before the procedure. And don’t forget to praise and pet your dog in between.

Yorkie claw structure

A dog's claws consist of several parts:

The outside of the claw is hard;
Inside there is a soft layer - pulp.

The pulp area contains a large number of thin blood vessels. As the claw grows, all layers increase simultaneously.

The first picture shows schematically the structure of a dog's claw:

A). Pulp;

B). Hard part (dead tissue).

The second picture shows what happens to the claw if it is not shortened for a long time. Without regular trimming, living tissue begins to fill the entire claw. Its length makes it difficult to step on the paw with all your weight. As a result, the center of gravity shifts, which leads to improper functioning of the joints.

The claw itself consists of two layers:

Keratin coating;
Nail bed area.

While there are no nerve endings in the keratin layer, there are many of them in the nail bed. In addition, at the base of the claw there are capillaries and blood vessels. You need to handle them very carefully. If you damage them, you can seriously harm your pet.

How?

Let's discuss cutting tools. When choosing a nail clipper or file, first of all, you need to proceed from the size and breed of your pet. It is very important to choose a tool of a suitable size for it, since a nail clipper that is too large will slip and injure the dog when trimming a nail, and it is simply unrealistic to trim the claws of a large dog while using a nail clipper for small breeds.

How can you trim a dog's nails?

The first and most obvious choice is nail clippers. They come in two types:

Scissors - similar in appearance to garden pruning shears, consist of two blades and two handles. The first type of nail clippers is used to trim the nails of large dogs, although they can also cut the nails of medium breeds.

Classic nail clippers and scissors

Guillotine shears - they have a hole for a claw and a lever handle. Guillotine shears are used only for trimming the nails of dogs of medium and small breeds.

Claw-guillotine

Advantages of nail clippers:

The nail trimming procedure does not take much time
There are many variations of nail clippers in size, which allows you to choose the most optimal option for a particular dog.

Disadvantages of nail clippers:

If handled improperly, the risk of injury is quite high.
If you choose the wrong tool, you can break or splinter your dog's claw.

Some owners of small dogs are afraid to cut their pets' nails and prefer to file them. There are many files designed for claws of different thicknesses and strengths.

Pros of files:

With proper handling of the tool and a sufficient level of care, there is low trauma.
You can choose a file with a notch of any size and any strength that would be most suitable for a particular dog.

An ordinary file for human manicure will not work, because the durable claws of pets will only succumb to the coarse abrasive of a specialized tool. But if there is no way out, then choose files for false nails, they are wear-resistant and file everything well!

Disadvantages of files:

They can only shorten their claws on small dogs, which are also accustomed to prolonged manipulation.
Shortening a nail by filing it can be stressful for a dog who is not used to it.
If you handle the file carelessly, you can injure your pet.

Along with the listed tools, there are electric scratching posts. With their help, you can file down claws to the desired shape and size.

Pros of electric scratching posts:

They file down the claw much faster than with a mechanical file.
When handled carefully, they are almost safe for the dog and the owner.

Disadvantages of electric scratching posts:

The high price of these tools and consumables themselves.
Noise during operation can greatly disturb the animal.
When the tool is used, the claw heats up. This can be unpleasant for the dog, and if it gets too hot, it can even cause him pain.

So, the most suitable tool for trimming dog claws can still be considered a regular nail clipper, especially since it is easy to choose for an animal of any size and breed.

>Where can I?

Nail trimming can be done either at the veterinarian or on your own at home, if your dog is sufficiently educated and patient. How much does it cost: usually within 200 rubles.

What tools will you need?

Before you start trimming your nails, you need to prepare everything you need for this:

Special scissors for cutting claws (claw clippers). You can buy it at a pet store. The most convenient option is “Guillotine”. You shouldn't choose microscopic. You need to take a regular normal size.
Packaging of cotton swabs.
Potassium permanganate in dry form. It will be required if the living tissue of the claw was accidentally touched. The vessel is cauterized with potassium permanganate, this helps stop the bleeding.

Types of nail clippers. Which one to choose: guillotine or sickle blades?

There are a number of gadgets available at pet stores for trimming your dog's nails, but they generally fall into two groups.

Guillotine Nail Cutter: As the name suggests, these have a single blade that cuts the end of a dog's nail. They are more suitable for small and medium dogs as they are not very powerful. In addition, their use requires the obligatory alternate placement of each claw in a special hole, after which the claw can be cut off.

Nail clippers with sickle-shaped blades: used, as a rule, for strong nails of large and giant breeds of dogs. These nail clippers have curved blades and a special limiter that adjusts the width of the blade, allowing you to adjust it to the size of your dog’s nails.

Trimming process step by step

The procedure itself is not as scary as it might seem. There are no nerve endings in the horny part of the claw. Therefore, the dog will not experience pain. She will be more afraid of an unfamiliar instrument. If the nails are cut for the first time, then the dog may resist, bark, and whine.

To make the procedure as calm as possible, it is performed in the following order:

Paws are washed in warm water. This will soften the stratum corneum somewhat;
After this, they should be wrapped in a soft cloth to remove excess moisture;
The haircut is done either by holding the dog on your lap, or by placing it on the table;
Take the paw in your hand;
The cut is made at an angle of 45 degrees;
To the place where living tissue is located;
A very long claw is cut in parts;
You cannot cut it off entirely;
The claw on the paw on the fifth toe, which does not touch the ground, is also trimmed.
You need to act clearly and quickly, and most importantly decisively.

You should not expect your pet to sit quietly and wait until the “torture” is over. He will struggle and resist. Especially if this is all happening for the first time. The dog just doesn't understand what's happening. To prevent her from developing fear before the nail trimming procedure, she should not scream or swear at her Yorkie. You will need to be patient and have some treats.

After the claws are trimmed, they are processed using a nail file. Sharp claw fragments will scratch the floor, furniture and everything else.

How to properly trim a Yorkie's nails with a nail clipper at home

How to properly trim your Yorkie's nails

A nail clipper is a very convenient tool. Before starting to work with it, wash the paws in warm water. You will need to prepare an antiseptic and cotton swabs.

It is more convenient to trim the front legs if the dog is sitting on your lap or on a table:

Take the paw in your hands and lightly press on the area of the pad;
Now the claw can be clearly seen;
If you look at the claw, you will notice a dark and transparent part;
Cut off the transparent part;
Prepare the nail clipper for use;
Having opened it, place the blade 2 mm above the pulp level;
The cutting angle is 45 degrees;
Now, with a deft movement, the claw is cut off.
The nail clipper cannot be moved or turned out;
The cut part is processed using a nail file.

The principle of trimming the claws on the hind legs remains the same. However, it will be more convenient to do this if the Yorkie lies on its side.

Different breeds

Using the above tips and recommendations, you can trim the nails of almost any dog, regardless of its breed and size. However, there are breeds in which the process of trimming nails has some peculiarities. All these dogs have one thing in common: they are classified as indoor and decorative dogs and are very small in size. These include the Yorkie, Chihuahua, Miniature Spitz and Toy Terrier.

How to cut hair for small breed dogs?

York

Let's figure out how to properly cut a Yorkie's (Yorkshire terrier) nails. After all, their claws need to be trimmed regularly not only for the sake of beauty, but also to avoid health problems. If the nails grow too long, they may curl up and grow into the pads of the fingers.

Yorkies need a comprehensive paw treatment, which also includes trimming the hair between the toes. This should be done 1-2 times a month.
It is better to trim your Yorkie's claws after bathing, when they are steamed.
You can put the dog on your lap, or put it on a table or on the floor - so that it is comfortable for you.
It is recommended to trim your Yorkie's nails using a guillotine. After trimming, you need to clean the cut with a file.

Chihuahua

A note for those who are interested in how to properly cut a Chihuahua's nails:

Puppies of this breed need to trim their nails once every two weeks, but for adult Chihuahuas it is enough to do this procedure once a month.
For these dogs, guillotine nail clippers are best suited. Some owners file their Chihuahuas' claws with a file or grind them down with an electric scratching post, but this is a rather long and unpleasant procedure for dogs.
Before trimming nails, you need to trim the hairs between the toes. This can be done conveniently with small scissors with rounded edges.
Take the paw and, pressing lightly on the pad of your finger, insert the claw into the “guillotine”. The claw must be cut at an angle of 45°.
First you need to cut off no more than 1 mm of the claw, and then carefully examine the cut. If the horny surface is still visible, you can trim another 1 mm, but only until the dark dot becomes visible.

IMPORTANT! You should not forcefully cut your Chihuahua's claws. If the dog gets scared or feels rough treatment, then next time it will be much more difficult to persuade it to undergo this procedure.

Spitz

Like all other dogs, Pomeranians need to have their nails trimmed from time to time. It is better to do this with guillotine-type nail clippers for small dogs.

Before trimming, trim the hair on your dog's toes if necessary.

To carefully trim the claw and avoid touching the pulp, take the Spitz's paw, press on the pad and hold the claw up to the light. This will help determine where the keratinized part ends. If you still can’t see the pulp, then just start cutting about 1 mm at a time until you see a point on the cut. After this, clean the cut with a file.

Toy terrier

Toy puppies begin to trim their claws already at one and a half weeks of age and do this every 15-20 days. Adult dogs of this breed have their nails trimmed every 20-30 days.

It is necessary to trim the toy terrier's nails, if only because due to the small weight of these dogs, their claws do not wear down even while walking on asphalt or gravel, no matter how long the toy walks.

Place the dog on your knees and, taking its paw, pressing on the pad, extend the claw, then cut it off by 3-4 mm. It would be enough.

ATTENTION! Toy terriers, despite their small stature, are distinguished by rare stubbornness. If you give up ahead of time and let him go until the end of the procedure, then he will not allow you to trim his claws; on the contrary, he will resist even more.

Dachshund

This is the most important procedure in caring for a dachshund! When you hear that your dog begins to knock his claws on the floor while walking, it’s time for a haircut. .

Rules and risk factors when trimming Yorkie's nails

If you have no experience in cutting nails, then you should do the first procedure at a veterinary clinic. The doctor will tell you in detail and show you the whole process. An incorrect haircut can cause pain to your pet. He won't even be able to walk after this. Without experience, you can damage the nail bed area. It is most convenient to trim light nails; dark ones are more difficult. Because otherwise it is more difficult to examine the structure.

If the dog is very scared and resists, then you should not insist on the procedure. First, the pet is calmed down. There is no need to grab him, sit him on your lap and forcefully trim his nails. This will scare the Yorkie even more.

When cutting for the first time, they retreat two mm from the pulp level. If the claw is light, then the procedure is not so complicated, you can easily see the border. If the color of the claw is dark, then cut it off gradually. As soon as the characteristic point becomes noticeable, the procedure is stopped.

If a little blood appears, then you need to treat the damaged area with an antiseptic composition. However, if it intensifies, then you should immediately contact a veterinary clinic.

The process of trimming Yorkie's nails step by step

So, the haircut procedure is not very difficult. First you need to prepare the dog's paws. They are washed in warm water. Then they start cutting.

You need to act quickly and carefully. It is very important to remain calm and not get nervous, otherwise the dog will become nervous.

After finishing the haircut, use a nail file to polish the remaining part of the claw. This is necessary to ensure that the pet does not harm itself or scratch the floor or furniture.

A nail clipper has a lot of conveniences, but it also has disadvantages. The cut is sharp and uneven. Claws after such treatment require additional processing. You can purchase a special grinding stone. Of course, it is more convenient to cut, but you can simply trim the length.

The pet may react to this with displeasure. Because the grinding process is longer and takes more time.

What method to shorten the nails to choose is decided mutually by the dog owner. And, of course, the pet itself.

Can a dog's nails be trimmed?

If a long nail is not trimmed promptly, it can cut into the skin and cause an infection. Improperly growing nails can cause lameness and problems with the pet's skeleton. Therefore, cutting a dog’s nails is not only possible, but also necessary for full-fledged life.

The structure of a dog's claw

Grooming procedures must be carried out in a veterinary clinic, but if your dog freely allows you to perform such a procedure on himself, then you can carry out the haircut at home. Before such a procedure, you should prepare the cutting tools and place. If you are performing this procedure on a puppy for the first time, be very careful about it. The puppy's subsequent fear will depend on your actions.

White claw on a dog

Before trimming, carefully inspect each claw. Only in white claws is the pulp clearly visible. If the nails are dark, trim them very carefully. After trimming, file the ends of your nails. Remove uneven cuts so they don't start to flake. And be sure to show tenderness to the dog, not aggression. Stroke his fur and prepare his favorite treat.

How to hold your Yorkie correctly when trimming its nails?

To trim the front paws, the dog is seated on your lap. They stroke her and try to calm her down. Before starting, you can give a small massage to the pads so that your pet calms down, relaxes and begins to trust.

After this, they begin cutting. The hind legs are trimmed with the dog lying on its side. You can also give a light massage to help your dog calm down and relax. There is no need to rush and trim the nails of a dog that is resisting with all its might. It can only cause harm.

What to do with black claws and how to trim them correctly

The principle of cutting black nails is no different from cutting light ones. This will require the same set of tools. The procedure will be the same. However, its difficulty is that in black claws, it is difficult to determine the part where the pulp is located. You can use a flashlight to illuminate such claws.

To find out how long to trim the claw, you should find the groove located on the side of the claw. However, this advice is not always suitable. Because not every dog has such a furrow.

If it is not possible to determine the place where the pulp is located, proceed as follows:

Using a nail file, gradually shorten the length.
As the length shortens, the pulp will become shorter and shorter.

There is another option. Cut off the hard layer into thin pieces and use a file for filing. This will allow the claws to grind down naturally. In this case, you can control the length and not harm the pet.

Even with this method of grinding down the claws, there is a possibility of damaging a blood vessel. Therefore, it is worth keeping disinfectants on hand.

What to do if it doesn’t give in and bites

In this case, you can try the following. First, try to calm the dog down and distract it with treats. If you can’t cope on your own, you can ask your loved ones for help. One assistant holds the dog, and the second does the claws.

For each successfully trimmed nail, the pet is given treats.

What to do if it doesn’t give in and bites

Another option is this. The dog is wrapped in a towel. One person holds a pet, and the other cuts a haircut. If you still can’t cope, then you should contact a groomer. Groomers have more experience and will be able to solve the problem.

Possible errors and complications

If an animal is injured, it is necessary to calm it down; after disinfection, lightly sprinkle the wound with powder or starch, but do not rub it in under any circumstances - this will worsen the situation.

It is important that the animal remains at rest for 20 minutes and does not run, provoking new bleeding.

Improper or careless care of your pet's claws leads to a number of consequences, often extremely unpleasant.

When caring for an animal, you should always remember that untimely or careless trimming of animal claws is fraught with consequences such as:

disorders in the development of joints;
negative and irreversible changes in paw position;
deformation in gait and, as a result, in the pet’s spine;
constant pain;
long-term illnesses.

Sometimes, in order to save the life of a pet, it is necessary to undergo declawing operations. Such indications include the following:

ingrown claws – complicated cases;
improper development of the claw, fused claws;
the occurrence of gangrene and other serious consequences;
serious injuries and inflammation, frostbite and burns;
oncological processes.

They also remove the so-called wolf claw (“dewclaw”) - rudimentary claws . Operations comply with breed standards. In developed countries, the operation is condemned by human rights activists.

How to teach cutting nails so that your Yorkie behaves calmly?

The process of trimming nails is unpleasant for any dog. By trying to hold the pet by force during this process, the owner frightens him even more. Therefore, it is not surprising that he will bark, bite and struggle in every possible way. The sooner your Yorkie is trained to get a haircut, the better.

It is necessary to ensure that the pet trusts the owner and approaches him himself. It would be a mistake to drive him into a corner and start the cutting process. Already at the sight of a nail clipper, the Yorkie will try to hide.

To compensate for the unpleasant sensations, you should stock up on treats. The most beloved. The pet is rewarded for its patience. The first haircut will not be very fast. Everything is done gradually. Trying not to scare the dog. It is very important not to hurt your Yorkie. Otherwise, every haircut will turn into real torture for the pet and its owners.

So, before cutting, you should do the following:

Call your pet;
Place him on your lap;
Take him by the paw;
Give him a treat;
Calmly examine the paw and claws;
If the dog behaves calmly, pet it, praise it and give it a treat;
Now take the nail clipper in your hand and let the dog sniff it;
Give the treat again;
Touch the claws with scissors;
If there is no negative reaction from the dog, praise it;
Now touch the dog on all its paws in turn;
If there is no resistance, then you can begin the procedure.

If the pet shows anxiety, then it is calmed down, stroked, treated with a treat, and the lesson continues. After the successful completion of the procedure, be sure to praise and treat him with a treat.

How to teach nail trimming so that your Yorkie behaves calmly

Gradually the dog will get used to the haircut and there will be no problems in the future.

Sequence of procedure

To shorten your pet’s claws quickly and painlessly, the dog owner should prepare for the procedure in advance and study the sequence and technology of performing all actions:

First of all, accustom your dog to the sight and sounds of nail clippers or nippers from a young age. You can playfully click the tool in front of the puppy so that the animal will not be afraid of it in the future. To encourage your pet, you need to treat it with treats.
Before the first procedure, you need to think about a comfortable non-slip surface. This could be a table, a couch or a wide bench.
You should invite an assistant to help restrain your pet or distract him by offering him a treat. This should be a person familiar to the dog and not causing him concern.
It is better to trim nails when the pet is in a relaxed state, for example, he came after a tiring walk, played for a long time, or ate a hearty meal.
While the animal is focused on a toy or food, you need to take its paw and carefully feel the pads of the fingers, each claw, determining the location of the nail bed.
The owner should stand in front of the pet so that his hands are along his paws. The thumb should fix the pad of the toe on the front paws from which the claw is cut, the rest should grip the foot.
It is more convenient to work with the hind legs when the dog lies on its side. Large pets are held down by leaning on them with the whole body and not allowing them to get up.
It is better not to touch the spaces between your fingers. This can cause the dog discomfort or tickling and involuntary withdrawal of his paws.
Then cut off the tip of each claw, leaving at least 2 mm to the pulp. In this case, you need to lightly press on the pads of your fingers so that they straighten. The cut is made only from below, in no case from above or from the side, this will cause delamination of the plate. Its angle is about 45 degrees or straight. You should be especially careful when working with dark breed dogs; it is better to cut off small sections, removing layer by layer.
In general, it is advisable to trim the tip gradually, giving it the desired shape. If the cut surface is oval, the nail bed is nearby.
Rudimentary claws have to be cut off more often, since they do not wear off at all and do not come into contact with surfaces when the pet moves.
Now each cut must be carefully filed and sanded.
If fur grows between your pet's toes, it is best to carefully cut it off with nail scissors with rounded tips.
Briefly soak your pet's paw with trimmed claws in a bath of saline solution or chamomile infusion to relieve irritation and redness.

What to do if there is bleeding

Minor damage to the vessel during cutting should not cause much concern. In this case, you should treat the wound with an antiseptic. It is very important to prevent bacteria from entering. Otherwise, your pet may even develop an inflammatory process.

Potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green and other antiseptics are used for treatment. For minor damage this will be sufficient. If the dog has a limp, it means that a nerve ending has been affected. The damaged claw is covered with an adhesive plaster. You can wear special shoes. After the wound heals, the lameness will go away.

Another remedy for treating injuries on the paws is alum. They are sold at any pharmacy. The medicine can stop bleeding almost instantly. A clot forms on the surface of the wound. To treat the wound, press the pencil tightly.

If you don’t have potassium permanganate or a pencil, you can sprinkle the wound with talcum powder or baby powder. Any antiseptic will do.

A minor cut can be treated with hydrogen peroxide. You can replace peroxide with chlorhexidine.

The methods listed above are only suitable for small wounds. If the plate is cut too high, bleeding will be severe. Therefore, treatment of such a wound will require a visit to the veterinarian.

To avoid infection, be sure to wash your paws. In this case, the risk of wound infection will be much less.

You should not trim your nails before the show. Because at first the pet may limp.

First aid

Unfortunately, no one is immune from injury, especially novice dog lovers. The hand trembles, the dog jerks sharply, or the length of the cut is incorrectly calculated and your pet will need help. That is why the materials necessary to provide it must also be prepared in advance and be at hand. This could be a special styptic powder, regular cornstarch or a simple bar of soap, hydrogen peroxide or chlorhexidine to disinfect the wound, bandages or napkins.

If your dog bleeds after trimming its nails, do not let your pet break free and run away from you. Try to calm him down, stroke him, pat him on the chest (this is the dog’s pleasure center). At the same time, begin to very carefully sprinkle the wound with powder or rub it with a cotton swab until the bleeding stops. If you use starch, sprinkle it on the wound, as rubbing can aggravate the situation and cause even more harm.

For minor damage, you can simply disinfect the wound with peroxide or chlorhexidine. You can also use a hemostatic pencil, which is pressed against the affected area of the claw for a few seconds and forms a dense clot that prevents further bleeding.

While providing first aid, offer the dog something tasty, try to distract him from what is happening as much as possible so that negative emotions do not become attached to the process of trimming his nails. Try to keep the dog calm for 15-20 minutes and not run, so as not to provoke re-bleeding.

If your pet reacts aggressively to an attempt to examine a wounded paw, the bleeding is excessive, or the dog continues to bleed 15 minutes after trimming its nails, contact your veterinarian immediately

Natural grinding of Yorkie's claws

You can avoid regular haircuts if you take your dog for a walk on the asphalt more often. Walking on soft ground or on a lawn will not solve the problem. Only jumping and running on the asphalt surface will help sharpen the claws. Therefore, when walking, you should allow your Yorkie to walk on a hard surface.

Natural grinding of Yorkie's claws

Nails can grow long if the dog is constantly at home and does not go outside at all. If it is not possible to sharpen the claws naturally, you will have to cut them.

Determining the time of haircut is not difficult. The pet begins to click on the floor. You should also check your paws regularly. If the length of the claws has become large, then it’s time to start the procedure.
