Yes, groomers' dogs always have nice looking nails.
Nails grown around like ram's horns, into the pad - nails that have to be cut off with wire cutters - nails that have broken off way into the foot, and become infected and absessed .... after you see those things, you clip your dogs nails!
Most of my dogs don't mind. Vanilla HATES it and goes into a screaming, flopping panic. Of course, when I first got her, everything from the telephone ringing to touching her tail sent her into a screaming, flopping panic ... so I suppose if nails are the only thing that is left that sets her off ... then she's doing great! LOL I just get one of my employees to clip while I hold her.
I HATE it when people don't keep up on their dogs nail care. It is just as important as brushing, ear cleaning, good diet, etc.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
