I'm afraid I'm going to hurt him. 
I am literally terrified to clip my dog's nails.

I'm the same with my cat. In fact, I had to take him to a pet shop to get it done, and he ended up scratching up my arms when I tried to put him in the
carrier case. Not fun.

I know some vets will do it and groomers will too. I would trust them more than a pet store, to be honest.

It's okay, I'm already terrified to clip my 11 day old daughter's.
 I think when the time comes I'll take her to my mom's and have her give me a lesson.

Take him to the vet, they'll do it for you.

I hate clipping my dogs nails, it's such a hassle cause she's constantly yanking her paws and squirming.. ugh.

I do both my dogs and both cats though. Its really not that big of deal. If your just having trouble with squirming have someone hold them for you. |
