| ok. it should be doable with some good scissors but can be far more difficult because they're bigger. I'd definitely recommend getting some at some point, but probably like min said using a file is the best (and safest) shot for now |

| I put mine in the living room window so they can peer at people walking past as I do it xD |

| oooh a file's a good shout min if you do have propper clippers then just be sure you're trimming at somewhat of an angle so it doesn't clip the blood vessel in the claw. look for all the paler keratin and avoid the darker thread in the middle higher up |

| i have a dog who haaates his feet being touched so we've gotten to him laying down comfortably on the couch, with his paws off the edge, and i go one at a time and treat with peanut butter between. every clip gets a peanut butter reward. he usually yanks his feet for the first few min so i have to hold him tight but after a nail or two, he's good until the next time lol |

| And if she has black claws, keep some wound powder at hand just in case you catch the quick. I'm always terrified I'll get my boys by accident but it hasn't happened so far |

| Get some proper dog nail clippers- you can get ones with guards on that help to not cut too far up, although honestly I found they just got in the way and went on vibes. If they're sharp but not actually long you can use a nail file to smoothen them a bit- that was advice my vet gave me when Norm was very teeny and making me bleed with his little needle feet every day xD |

| How do you trim a puppy's nails? Molly (my puppy) has sharp ass nails, and when she jumps on someone, her nails scratch them. I don't want her scratching herself, or anyone, open. |
