How to trim a dog's nails

Want to know how to trim a dog's nails? Don't like the hassle and cost associated with visiting a vet every time your dog's nails need a trim?
Trimming a dog's nails can be a difficult task. If you have never done it yourself, or have never seen a vet do it. I strongly suggest learning the process before attempting it at home. The best way to go about it is by grabbing a hold of a detailed guide first, reading through it and understanding the process and potential complications associated with trimming a dog's nails at home. Often the online guides do not explain the process well enough, or even worse, can be wrong -- after all, you want to do it right, because it's your pup we're talking about and if you mess it up it can cause problems!
Once you grab a guide or a book, you may still want to visit your vet and watch them do it, once you know the process, and you've seen a professional do it, you should be fairly safe with performing the trimming at home! Of course, it is not 100% necessary to see a vet first if you have a detailed guide with you.
So remember, don't do it unless you know what you're doing. Your best bet is to grab a guide like this one. If you're still unsure, visit your vet and watch them do it before trying it at home.
