CLAW TRIMMING

Basic Claw Trimming.  We prefer a Miller Forge trimmer--they last a very long time, are easy to use and do not shred the claw like many other trimmers.  Do not use a guillotine type trimmer for your pets.  A dremel is nice for some dogs, but claws need to be dremeled every two weeks.  Trim cat claws every week or so depending on rate of growth.  Most dogs require 4-6 week trims.  If you cannot trim claws, then take them to the vet or the groomer.  Long claws are PAINFUL which is why they are such a pet peeve of mine!  They can break off, cause dislocations and fractures, difficult ambulation, and can actually grow into the pad!  Please refer to DECLAWING ALTERNATIVES for cat specific trimming.
