My learning: One of the most educational things that I have learned since I started this endeavor, is all about nail care. The toughest thing for me was trimming nails and not knowing for sure that I would not hit the quick. Just like pet owners! So, I thank those that allowed me to get more practice by grooming their dogs. Some had a quick nicked, others not. It really bothered me, so I learned more and determined that grinding is better. I personally have moved to the nail grinder because it is safer, super easy, avoids cutting the quick, and most dogs don’t mind it.
