I am such a stickler for nail cutting, I hate to see dogs with long long nails. I guess that comes from being a groomer and having to cut nails out of dog's pads before, or having to cut them because their toes are so splayed out they can hardly stand. :-( Poor doggies.
As a former groomer I can say I've seen some really bad ones, too. I've seen some nails pulled out or broken off badly, too. In fact it's happened to Chester because he HATES to have his nails cut and he bites sometimes if you try. We had them cut really short while he was under for surgery and we'll take him back to the vet weekly from now on. Before, he went every two weeks.

We use the same tool as you do on Millie and Chester, and we also have a dremmel for Millie. She tolerates it, bit Chester won't. Aneko goes to the groomer once every 3 weeks, so hers are done there.

They all 3 have several black nails and I hate those!
