frequency of nail trimming?
My mutt has black nails that grow shockingly fast. I trim them once per
week with nail trimmers that have a guard so that I don't trim to much off and get the quick. I'd like to get them to a shorter starting point by trimming more frequently for a little while. How long does the quick take to withdraw and how frequently can I trim? Also, is there such a thing as nails that are too short? -- Lynne |

If you use a Dremel, you can trim every day if you like. Whether the quick will recede at all is dog dependent. I fought that battle with Pan's ultra-long nails and had to give up for the sake of my sanity (and blood pressure). Also, is there such a thing as nails that are too short? If there is, I'm yet to see it. Suja |

I know exactly what you mean, Lynn - I have a black Scottie with the
quickest growing nails ever - and they're black, so it's a real struggle! I wrote about it at http://www.advice-on-pet-care-and-pe...ogs-Nails.html - you may find it helpful to know we all struggle with this one! Marion |
