Trimming Your Dog or Cat's Toenails

Got a Large Dog That Hates Water and Baths?
I take two leashes, put one around the dogs collar (so he thinks he's going for a walk) hook it up tightly to a fence. Take 2nd leash and wrap it around the underside of his hind legs tightly. The 2nd leash will prevent him from sitting down so you can wash easier. Works like a charm and dog can't get away.

My cat's very long hair has become matted over the past couple of months. Since it's so hot here in Texas now, I wanted to give her an overall short haircut to clean her up and keep her cooled off. I have some electric clippers with various size combs on them, but I can't come near her with those.
If your clippers become too hot and stop clipping, for example: when shaving your dog - just dip them in alcohol while they are still running, and this will cool them off enough so that they continue to clip!

Faster And Less Painful Dog Nail Clipping!
My dog is a large breed with very large and tough nails. This was a most unpleasant task until I discovered a Dremel Tool! I used the larger grade sanding wheel for my dogs nail size and thickness. For less noise, I used the slowest speed. It was so much faster and not nearly as painful for my pet. I also didn't need to worry about causing bleeding by cutting too close or pinching the nail with the standard clippers for dogs. I also could regulate how much nail to file down at a time - dependent on my pets patience level and mine at the time! By Mastiffs
