Clipping our pets nails is an important part of pet care.
It can take practice to get it done.
When I first attempted to clip Kenji's nails, he zipped away. My daughters would try to hold him. Yet it was still challenging. Kenji seemed to find a way out.
I asked the vet about how to hold and cut his nails. She demonstrated that he tends to need to be held like a football.
OK
Yesterday I bought a new pair of nail clippers, because I couldn't find the one we had.
Supplied with new nail clippers, a banana (his favorite treat) and towel, my daughter and I went to it. Kenji was held in a football hold, while I clipped each paws nails carefully.
He was happy with his reward treat.
Hagrid gets his nails clipped too.
He, being the king of chill, wasn't initially hard to work with.
Yet he would shake his hand after having his nails cut. His way of letting us know he didn't care for it.
