 Clipping w/out upsetting

What is the proper way to clip a BD’s toe nails?

Like how short and how can i do it with as little stress as possible?

Lastly can i use normal nail clippers or do i have to pay and arm and a leg for something special?

Thanks guys

Hi there,

just clip the very tip, do not cut pass the black part of the nail, just the tip..yes you can use normal nail clippers, and what i do is put them somewhere distracting like up on a window cell, and while they are busy looking at everything, i clip them and they don’t even know i’m doing it, lol...

i use normal clippers too, Jules doesnt seem to mind. i normally clip them after she has had a bath,so they are softer and she is more relaxed. just be sure not to cut too far down, only the tips need to be trimmed.
