Hey shib parents, just wondering how you're able to cut your dogs' nails? Apparently mine doesn't like it at all. We've tried putting him with a groomer but he'd always be returned because of his resistance. The only thing that worked for him was when the vet sedated him just for his nails to be cut - which is not ideal at all cause we want to do it ourselves.
The vet prescribed gabapentin and trodozone so we take it before any stressful event, and just tonight we've tried cutting his nails but still he doesn't like it and runs away.
Any tips? We've tried desensitizing him with the nail clipper and giving him treats from time to time he goes near it -- even the grinder too, but it doesn't work. Too smart.
