Hi, we used to go to the vet too to get Elf’s nails trimmed. But now my daughter trims his nails, whilst I hold him. We always support his bottom with one hand and the other just firmly but comfortable around his chest. We always try to make the trimming session quick and reward Elf with a treat straight after.She is beautiful- can I ask what technique do you use to get them use to being held? My little boy loves pats and head rubs but there’s no way he will let me hold him to do his nails so I have to take him to the vets each time
Oh I once saw that a lady posted using a muslin cloth and you put the nails through it and that way you can see where to cut and not cut the fur or worse the skin.
At the moment Elf is moulting a lot and dislikes the brush or comb. So we do the same technique one holds him and the other use their hand gently to remove the undercoat fur.
I once used the furnigator which I bought online and ended up causing a bare patch on his butt. I was soo shocked and was so stressed over it. It grew back but still that traumatised
me more than it did Elf!
