Instructions
Check between your dog's pads daily to see if any foreign objects are present. If you notice the cockapoo limping or whining, it may have something stuck. Pull it out gently.
Trim the hair around the paws when the cockapoo is standing. Lift each paw, comb the fur out from between the toes and then trim to pad level.
Pull the fur from the top of the foot through the dog's toes. Trim the fur to paw level.
Clip the tip of the nail. Be careful not to clip the pink part, which holds a nerve. When your cockapoo's nails click when walking across a hard surface, it's time for them to be cut. Dog-Behavior-Training.co.uk recommends cutting the nails every two weeks.
