The choice of a suitable brush is a critical measure for keeping your dog’s coat and skin healthy.

An electric hair clipper can be used to do at-home grooming or can also be used to trim down areas of hair to help clear up skin infections or minor injuries.
![Page 25: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A variety of clippers and trimmers are available. Choose the one that best suits your dog’s coat type.
![Page 26: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
5 – Nail Clippers or Grinder
![Page 27: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Keeping your dog’s nail trimmed is important to his comfort and health. Overgrown nails can split and cause limping and pain.
![Page 28: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Because every dog’s nails grow at a different rate, you should check your dog’s nails during every grooming session to see if they need trimming.
![Page 29: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Different types of nail clippers are available. Follow the instructions on the package for each type.
![Page 30: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
If you get your dog accustomed to nail trimming at an early age, he will not fuss during the procedure.
![Page 31: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Hold the dog securely on your lap and cut each nail a small amount at a time, ensuring that you do not cut the nail too short and hit the “quick,” the blood vessels that feed the nail.
![Page 32: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
You can then file down the sharp edges, if necessary. Some dogs prefer using a grinder to grind the nail down to the proper length.
![Page 33: Top 5 Items You Need to Groom Your Dog](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5681291d550346895d8bb05d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Using a grinder can avoid cutting into the quick, causing bleeding.
