Hello,

I have a 13 week old GSD. His nails seem to be getting pretty long. The
breeder told me to have the vet cut his nails. The vet told me that I should
do it. Dilemma. What's a boy to do? So I got some clippers, the kind that
have a loop. First nail I cut, too deep. I hit the quick. That sucked! I
didn't think I was cutting it that deep, but it was hard to tell with those
style clippers.

Well I got a different style clippers, kind of like scissors. They have a
guard on them that's supposedly supposed to help prevent over cutting. Not!
I finally got the nerve to try it again. I found the longest nail I could
find and clipped it. Ouch! Strike Two! I thought I clipped less off then the
last one, but apparently not.

Now I'm thoroughly afraid to try it again. More so then the dog. And I'm
thinking, those nails aren't so long after all.

Is my dog destined to have long nails or is there an easier way to cut them?

Thanks,
Randall
