Nail Clipping Time

Click Click Click across the kitchen floor.

It's that time again.

 

Look down at your toenails, hold your big toe.

Now, from experience you have learned where to stop when clipping your toe-nails.

You see the difference between the nail/enamel that needs clipping and the nail/enamel that covers your toe-nail meat.  If you clip the nail/enamel that covers your toe-nail meat you will cause yourself great distress.

With a nail clipper, clip the nail/enamel part of your toe-nail you know will cause you no pain.

Okay, look at your pet's toe-nail.  See the nail/enamel!  Some portions cover some meat.

Clip the clear nail/enamel farthest away from the meat

as far as you can see - STOP

                                              then  File    the remainder.

 

Your pet will tell you when you have filed close enough.

If you are unsure which is which, be safe than sorry ------- use a nail file to file from the beginning to close enough.

Teeth Cleaning Time

We all know gnarling on fresh carrots scrub teeth clean, but lets do more to clean our pet's teeth.

Daily rub your pet's teeth with a soft cloth or use cotton swabs.
Cotton swabs perform well for cleaning your pet's teeth.

Use a dental scrapper to remove plaque from under the gums and over the teeth.
Ask your veterinarian to help you.  Your veterinarian is skilled removing plague and has all plaque removing equipment.

You must decide if you want to clean thoroughly yourself or have your pet put to sleep by the vet for every teeth cleaning time.

Whatever your choice may be, do something rather than allow more plaque to build-up on your pet's teeth.

If you wait too long, you will be outside the perimeters of
