Learn to clip your dogs, cats or birds nails. Invest in a good set of clippers ( around $7.00-$12.00) from your veterinarian. It will save you the cost of an office visit. Pet stores that offer grooming probably have instruction folders on the procedure. Or try the internet for "how to" site.
I agree this is a great way to save money. While at the pet store, get a bottle of "stop-quik" or a similar product. This is to stop bleeding if you should cut the nail too short. It is a powder that you apply with a Q-tip, and the bleeding stops. I've been grooming dogs for years, & I still get one too short every once in while.
