Dog nail trimming in Fairport is usually the shortest and least expensive visit to a groomer. It's also the one owners put off most, because a dog that hates having its paws handled makes it a two-person job at home.
How Often
Most dogs need nail trims every three to four weeks, according to the American Kennel Club. If you can hear your dog's nails clicking on the floor, they're likely too long. Older dogs often need trims more often: the AKC's advice for senior dogs includes increasing the frequency of nail trims.
Why It's Worth Keeping Up
- Regular small trims are easier on the dog than an occasional big one.
- A groomer can buff the edges smooth, which is easier on floors and on skin.
What It Costs
Published national cost guides put a nail trim at about $10, or $15 with buffing. Ask the groomer whether a nail trim can be booked on its own or added to a bath.
