Ricky's Vet does his nails for free anytime I think they might need them. He always says to just call them up and see how busy they are. If it is a slow day, they take him right in, clip his nails and we go on our way. Ricky isn't thrilled by it but he pretty much takes everything in stride. Especially when he knows that when we leave the Vet's office, he can go to PetSmart and ride around in the shopping cart. He loves that.
