HOW TO GIVE DOG PETICURES:
How to peticure® the nail
Peticure's Three Rules: - File the nail for only 3-5 seconds at one time. This avoids excess friction.
- Alternate nails as you file. This technique further insures friction is not an issue.
- Always look at the nail after each and every filing pass. This is necessary to guage the quick.
How do I know when to stop?
The most common question asked about the peticure® is, "How do I know when to stop?". The simple answer to the question is this. "Filing" as a method of nail removal is very incremental. When removing paper thin layers, the danger of taking off too much at one time is not possible. If it is your first time using peticure®, be conservative and only round off the sharp edges and obvious overgrowth.
Introducing peticure®
Spending a few days properly introducing peticure® will make a lifetime of ease in giving them a treatment. Turn on peticure® and give the dog his or her favorite treat at the same time. Put the filer close to the dog as you give the treat. Praise the dog. Repeat this several times until the pet is comfortable and anticipates the treat. Now, get a treat out as usual except this time we will touch the tip on ONE nail to the peticure® filer. Treat the dog and or play after. Always condition your pet with a positive experience after an encounter.
