how to trim a small dogs nails?

this is a boston terrier
Answers:
You should never use human's nail clippers on a dog. It can can put a lot of pressure on your dog's toenail before it actually cuts through the nail. If this happens your dog may feel an uncomfortable pinching sensation. This is because the vein in the toenail is being squeezed.

If your pup has black nails, it might be easier to take him or her to Petsmart and have it done there. This way you don't have worry about cutting too far back and cutting the quick, which can be painful for your dog. Just clip a tiny bit off at at a time. It's better to cut off less than too much.
Hi, you can buy a special nail clipper for small dogs/cats or use a human nail clipper, just be careful not to trim too far down. If you want just trim the very tiniest tip off.
I have a pom and we bought dog nail clippers..also can use regular nail clippers like what u would use
take the dog to the vet.good luck!!
It can be tricky especially if they have black or dark nails. You would better off taking the dog to a groomer or a vet and have them show you the correct way. It really isn't difficult, but if you don't know and cut the quick that can be very painful to your dog and may cause trouble for future trimmings. Good Luck KG
Very carefully!
go to the store and buy nail clippers made for dogs. Then try ton get your dog used to seeing them and when you do cut them don't cut the vein!(the red part on the nail)
I take my puppers to the vet. It's better that way.
Take them to PetSmart or your vet and let them do it.
LOL!!
Just like any OTHER dog!

Behind their back-like a HORSE! so you can CLAMP them close w/your arm .
