I need some help about Bianca's nails. She won't let me cut them, and the vet has a very hard time as well. Today, when I took her to get them cut, the vet was only able to cut a few. The quick had grown too close. We take a couple of walks a day on concrete, but still, they look long to me. (I read the past posts on this subject and saw some beautiful clipped nails in a picture--Bianca's nails are no where near that short!) Help--what can I do to get them as they should be? If I don't do anything about it, the problem will only get worse. She is 2 yrs. old and I "adopted" her from my son. Evidently, she's had a bad experience or something with getting her nails clipped. Any advice you guys have on this subjuct would REALLY be appreciated!

MANY thanks to all of you who replied to my desperate plea!! I think I may next turn to a "pet parlor" here. Later maybe I can get a dremel and do it myself, so it can be done once a week as suggested. Even though she walks on asphalt some each day, it probably doesn't get them filed enough. (I surely wish I could believe it did!!) Bianca is just a pet--not for showing--so maybe I don't even need to worry about it.

ruby has black nails and I take her to the groomer at the vet. She's never let us touch her nails.

Thanks! I'm going to get an appointment today. How often do you find it needs to be done for Ruby?
