I try to cut Foxy's nails once a week. How often do you cut your dogs nails??
Usually twice a month.
Whenever I think about it. At least once a month, but it's usually more often than that.
I also trim Rebel and Claire's once a week. I never cut them short enough but that's b/c I can't see the quick (Rebel's nails are black and Claire's are chocolate) and I don't want to cut them too short. lol Plus I like to have them used to having it done. I also file them too, at least once a week. :)
I cut them every week to two weeks.
Foxy's nails are black aswell which makes it a little harder to cut them, but i try to cut them so they are not touching the grounds when he's walking.Quote:

Whenever I give them a bath, which is every week. Sometimes every 2 weeks if they don't need it that week.
That's a good idea Kay, keeps them in routine! :D
gkristian, that's kinda what I try to do as well, great idea. :D
At work they tell people to file them and that helps to make the quicks get shorter and so I am hoping that that will happen.
I cut them about every 2 weeks, or a little before. Alex isn't really good about it, he whines and acts like I'm hurting him, even if the clippers aren't touching his nails:rolleyes: But he puts up with it anyway.:)
About once a month or so. Neither of mine are very tolerant of it, and I dread it everytime. :p I think they sense my fear, and I wish I could hide it more.
Every three weeks. After I cut them I usually file them a little so that they are smoother. I don't worry when I do Bella because her nails are light colored and I can see the quick. When I first got Ripley his nails were VERY long and they are black. I have been taking just the tips off because I am afraid that the quick has grown way down. I did make him bleed once and I felt just awful. He has learned to trust me again though but I still don't think he feels very comfortable with the whole idea. :)
Thanks for reminding me! I always forget and probably don't do it enough :(.
I don't have a regular schedule.. I just clip them when I notice they need it :o
I should get into a routine though. Tasha keeps her own nails down somewhat on her own. :)
When they start to click on the hardwood floor. ;)
About every 1-2 weeks or as needed. I try to keep them as short as possible.
