I tried clipping my boys nails when he was a pup, he has black fur, pads and nails so you cannot see the vein. I thought I was successful, but must have just nicked the vein, as shortly after ebbing done he was running around and must have walked it and omg my lord the blood! Everywhere, he was fine but me not so much! Never again!
We let the groomer do it

Oh gosh we tried at the beginning and it was always so stressful! Always worried we would hurt him or clip in the wrong spot. We now just leave it to the experts – our groomers. We get it done whenever they go in and saves us the stress.
