To clip or to file -- that is the question

As a pet owner, that question will eventually plague you: How are you going to get your pets’ nails clipped and what technique will you use?
Whatever you decide, nail grooming is critical. Neglecting your pets’ nails can cause broken nails, ingrown nails and nail bed infections. And walking a dog with ingrown or long nails is extremely painful (for the dog and for you!) and can cause permanent damage.
Maybe you’ve decided to have your pets’ nails trimmed by a groomer. While you believe this may be easier on you and your pet, it actually is not.
Your pet would far prefer that you groom him/her than a stranger – and learning how to care for their nails the right way is really quite easy. Professional trimming can be quite expensive and you run the risk of giving your pet an infection.
Maybe you’ve decided to do-it-yourself with:

Nail clippers:
The pro - they’re cheap.
The cons – they’re cheap.

Enough said.

A nail filing kit, like the Peticure:
The pros – works quickly and safely to trim your pets’ nails.
Helps avoid the nail quick and automatically cauterizes.
Gives you better control.
Saves you time and money on your pet grooming needs.

The cons – we sure can’t think of any.

Enough said.
