My dog also hates having her claws cut, so we don't cut them.... I can do it myself but its a mission, so as others have advised walking daily (2x in my case) on rough ground (pavement) keeps the claws filed....

In my experience the dry roast makes the end product very crumbly - yes the boullion is salty, halve it perhaps? And add more garlic powder - there's no hard and fast rules here - whatever keeps puppy happy and paying attention. Perhaps using the drippings from a roast beef or chicken could be used as well (with some water) to help ease the sodium levels. I have found slicing the liver, then poaching it, then cutting into strips much easier than trying to cut the raw meat into strips (even when I try to do this with the liver semi frozen).

in a large sauce pan boil about 1.5 - 2l of water and add chicken boullion cubes (2 Knorr or Maggi) and a tablespoon or more of garlic powder. Get about 1kg of beef liver and cut into 1/2 inch slices - drop in the chicken boullion - poach for about 5 min - remove slices from boullion (save it though, I actually let it reduce for about another 15 - 20 minutes - my dog loves a spoonful or two on her dry food as a treat) Cut the slices into strips (so you should have long strips about 1/2 inch around) put in a low oven (about 250F maybe a little hotter) - let them dry roast for about 1/2 hour until dry but not too brittle - then chop into 1/2 inch cubes - they can be frozen. This makes a lot of treats - my cats love them too. My supermarket sells beef liver as a combo with kidneys and hearts which I also give the same treatment. This recipe is **** for non-liver likers in your house (I love liver myself so the handling of the meat and the smell is not a problem for me) as the smell is quite strong edited by marycatherine on 13/02/2011 I used to just dry roast the raw liver on baking paper. Is there a reason why you cook it first? To be honest, I'd be worried about all of the salt in the stock cubes too. Completely agree about the smell though!! Definitely do it on a day you can leave the doors and windows open. I can't think of much worse than getting that smell through the AC! ;)

Hi, I am a dog groomer, can I just add please do be carefull if you cut through the main vein in the nail you might have to go to the vets to stop the bleeding! I think you second groomer was right not to cut them if he/she was having trouble and the groomer beforehand should not have made your dogs nail bleed! You could always just file them down a bit (you can buy files) instead of cutting them if you are in any doubt get them done at the vets under a sedative. Try to touch your dogs paws and nails while stroking him/her everyday, so she/he gets used to it and then hopefully doggie will feel a little better about it the next time. Good luck

If you need recipe for no fail liver treats, let me know. However, if there is anyone in the house who gags at the smell of cooking liver, plan for a day out for them

Agree with all posters, the best time to do it is when your dog is calm and relaxed and to start initially by handling the paws and nails regularly. One of my dogs used to run away and hide whenever the clippers came out - it was never an issue initially until after he had had his nails trimmed at the groomers and he bled :( after that he freaked out every time. It's taken some practice but he's ok with having his paws and nails handled now but is still nervous around the clippers... it takes time and patience and a bit of speed. I prefer to do little and often to be sure he doesn't bleed again. ETA... treats are a great distraction from the clippers/paw handling/nail cutting! You can get clippers from pet shops and also in the pet food sections of most supermarkets. Good luck! <em>edited by dunight on 11/02/2011</em>

The nail clippers I use are sort of like a one hole punch? you insert the nail in a hole and when you squeeze the handle (like scissors) a lateral blade comes out and cuts off the tip. Most vets and pet shops should carry them. Treats are a good source of motivation. Use them liberally. but also let him get used to having his feet held and handled with no cutting etc. - but use the treats = we want him to associate foot handling with a happy ending

While my dog has rarely had her nails cut at the groomer (we've only been twice, we're both relatively low maintenance) I have cut her nails if the normal exercise haven't kept them trimmed (not very often). However, she is not thrilled - I wait until she is relaxed and seemingly asleep and take a paw and cut maybe .5 cm (1/4 inch) on the longish ones. I usually manage about 2 before she gets up and walks away - it's a matter of patience. However, she is used to me picking up her feet and checking betwee the toes for ticks or, (in Canada) removing iceballs from the furry fronds between her toes). As an ongoing tactic, pick up a paw every once and a while and just pat it and check the pads etc gently - she's probably not used to having her feet handled and probably now associates it with pain and restraint. Show her it's not all bad.

What if you got yourself some clippers, he might be more comfortable letting you do them. I used to do my dogs and it was quite easy.

My boy (dog) has just come back from the groomers but they said he totally freaked out when they wanted to cut his nails. He usually does freak out but the groomer (new one) didn't want to persist and hurt him. The last groomer did persist and a nail was bleeding after, maybe that's why he is so freaked out now?? Groomers say the best is to take him to the vet and have him sedated to do it.....:( Is there no other way??? :( :(
