Now we're going to clip your dog's nails. The things that we need, when we clip the
dog's nails, we're going to need nail clippers and we're going to need a little bit of stop
bleed or styptic powder. You can get it at the local pet store. We're going to keep that
handy, hopefully we won't need that today. So, here's Sadie's nails, you can see the
white nail. The white nails are the easiest to cut. You can see the skin that comes forward.
We're going to cut it, just before, you go to the skin. We're going to cut just a little
bit off. That's a good girl, Sadie. And the black nail. People say, "well I can cut the
white nail, but not the black nail". Well, the black nail's the same. We're just going
to go back, just a little bit. You can see the hollow. So we're just going to cut the
end off, just like that. Same with the other nails. When you hesitate, and you notice I'm
not holding her. I'm not holding her body, I'm just holding her foot, gently. Giving
her some give, so if she wants to pull on me, she can. We're going to use the...now
there's the dew claw. So, we have nice, trim nails for Sadie.
