I've been meaning to ask this same question. We have a Great Dane that is 10 months old. He weighs 100+ lbs. The past couple times I've taken him to the vet they do such a good job. In fact, they always do a better job than the groomer. Last time they were trimmed Vader went to the Vet to have surgery for his cherry eye & while he was under, they trimmed them. I want to do them but I'm not looking forward to it at all. He lets me handle his paws fine but he tries to eat the clippers! :-? Does anyone know of a good website for people that just use clippers that has pictures as to how far you cut the nail back? I'm always so afraid that I'll cut to far! Thanks in advance.............. :fadein:
