Instructions
Consult your vet. Unless the nail is constantly being caught and torn (this is common with the dewclaw on dogs) the vet may decline the request to remove the nail. It is extremely important to find a licensed vet who does perform the procedure. Do not go through animal breeders as they often do not have sterilized tools to perform the operation.
Make an appointment for the nails to be removed. You may need to make several appointments for the claws and nails to be removed (typically the front claws are removed one day and the back removed another).
Drop your pet off. Because your pet will be put under anesthesia, you may not be able to pick your pet up until the next day.
Monitor your pet's behavior after the nails are removed. It is slightly painful at first, and you need to make sure the animal does not lick off the stitches from the procedure. This may require you to apply a cone around your pet's head.
How to Stop Pet Nail Growth
As with humans, you need to continuously monitor your pet's nail growth. Often it becomes difficult to trim your pet's nail as there is blood circulation through part of the nail, which will cause the nail to bleed if you cut too short. If you are tired of cutting your pet's nails, there is only one way to stop them from growing back: Have the nails surgically removed.
