Trimming my German Shepherd’s nails with a clipper has always been stressful and traumatic for both of us! Every ‘clicking’ sound disturbed and even scared him, especially because he once had a bad experience with the groomer who accidentally overcut his claws and caused them to bleed. After such a shock, even I understood his desperation when I held his paws up for trimming.

However, my German Shepherd friend and I soon learned that with the right equipment there’s no need to be afraid or stressed. It’s been three years since we started using a nail grinder and from that first trimming session with the new “toy”, nail care ceased being such a traumatic procedure and instead, became an intimate moment that now we share together.
