One to two times a week for Simba and Nala.
Kiara will not let me touch her's with the clippers or anything that looks similar. I have to leave it to her to wear them down. I don't give up, though, and still try everytime I do Simba & Nala's. I get a little bit here and there, but she fights so much that I give up.
I just grab Finn every day and usually do one or two nails at a time. I'm starting to do that with Freckles, too, but, I won't touch Dudley's. I won't cut black nails. I don't know how often David usually gets them done, but I know they haven't been done since I moved here...I know he's getting groomed within the next couple weeks, though, so, I'm sure they'll do it, then.
Once a week.
Paysons nails don't get clipped very often. It's very traumatic for him, my friend who is a groomer comes to the house and does it. He hyperventilates every time he gets them cut so I refuse to do it because it freaks me out. We can't take him to the vet or groomer to have it done because he freaks out. So I'd say they get done every 3 months or so.
:o Never cut them before. I tried once, but they were too hard. I was squeezing the clippers and she was whining and we wern't getting anywhere because they were just too darn hard. She wears them down enough on walks, ( we always walk on the road ) anyways so i don't think she needs it.
whenever its looks like they need done. Mistys nails are all white so clipping it easy, plus herfeet are so tiny and compact that her nails pretty much only hit the ground when she wants them too, I also found it funny that Misty can walk up a metal slide and just stand there with no signs of slipping lol
Happy has a mix of white nails, black nails and half and half nails, she has what most people consider compact feet but compared to Mistys they look huge and splayed lol her nails need clipped at differnt frequencies because when she ripped out her one nail the rest of the nails continued on as normal but the one nail grew back, but it grows at a differnt rate from the rest, so sometimes only 1 nails will need clipped for example. also her back nails and outside front nails wear down on their own, only the middle front nails get long.
Perky and Ripley get their nails clipped when my mom decided to clip them, and Blairs get done only a few times per year, he is so freaky about it, and I am the only one he allows to touch his feet, wehnn absolutly nessisacry I clip his front feet. and dont even TRY to touch his back feet! or his double dews. he got his nails done at the vet a few months ago...I dont think they ever want to see him again! my mom had to go in the back and get him herself because he attacked anyone who came near the cage! he is really a sweet dog, but if he thinks your gonna hurt him, he WILL hurt you.
About every 2 weeks..both of their nails grow fast..i clip them myself
