Trimming your pup’s nails can be hard. Getting them used to it as early as possible is key! I use clippers and/or a grinding tool depending on the dog’s preference and the color of their nails. I don’t use restraints for this either, so if your dog is aggressive or absolutely terrified of getting their nails done, I am not the groomer for you. ($15)
Mats can be painful and restrict movement. Trimming them off can usually be done without a full body trim, though if your dog has a lot of matting all over their body, they may need to be shaved at a full service groomer. ($10-$30)
Some long haired dogs benefit from a sanitary trim which just means a trim around the privates, especially just under the tail. It helps your dog stay cleaner and smell better. ($5-$20)
