German Shepherd Nail trim

The nails of your German Shepherd should be trimmed about every two months. Unless he is spending sufficient amount of time running on hard surface so that his claws are grinded down naturally. If he has due claws, those of course need to be trimmed regularly as they don’t touch the ground while walking, and therefore can’t be naturally grinded.
If the dog has grown claws that are too long, it is necessary to cut them off little by little every week. If a nail that is too long is cut back a whole lot, the vein inside the nail will be injured and the claws that are cut to short might bleed. It could also cause an infection!

Tools to be used:

Use the clipper that look like a bolt cutter, or a dremel. Do not use the kind of clipper that has a hole to stick the nail through and then has a blade that pushes through the hole. This kind is not recommended for thick nails and the squeeze can be hurtful.
Puppies should have their nails trimmed just as regularly. It is recommended to use the human nail clippers of the larger size.
