How to Treat a Dog's Ingrown Toenail
I like this guillotine, these kinds of toenail clippers, but I think that is all a personal preference you have. These, I can’t personally get him as precision, you know they are wider, I either get them too long or too short, so I like these, and these are nice and cheap; I think $6 or $7 so you really, your basic limit, it’s not a whole lot. These are just plain people toenail cutters, for that one that’s grown in the foot, this one right here, right here is the vein. I don’t know if you can see the pink and this part here has grown and curled under so you just going to cut this in half, and sometimes and if it’s in the foot, it hurts them. You really have to get it out, it’ll come out, you know, like if it is infected and you don’t know have to pull it out. Go ahead and put peroxide, half water and half peroxide. See he didn’t have to go to the vet for that.
