Give Your Pet a Trim

I'm not sure what Titus and Philemon got their toenails stuck in but it looks like what ever it was is now turned back into a pile of thread.

Dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs need their nails done.

It's more then a matter of "beauty". Not maintaining their nails is a true heath concern.

Guinea pigs need their nails trimmed at least once a month to prevent them from curling into their skin, which can be painful and lead to infection. Long nails can also make it difficult for guinea pigs to walk comfortably. Here are some tips for trimming your guinea pig's nails:

Trimming a cats toenails is important for their comfort, health, and well-being. Long nails can cause pain, injuries, and infections, and can impact a pet's quality of life. Trimming can also help with balance and posture, and prevent cats from scratching furniture.

A dogs untrimmed Nails Are More Susceptible to Injuries
This may cause their body's alignment to be off when they move, making them more susceptible to injuries. While it's always important to make sure your dog's nails are trimmed, it's especially important in older dogs with arthritis, weakness, and balance problems.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Hi Bob "RealMan" Timm ,

I totally agree with you.  I am taking one of our fur babies in tomorrow for a trim and nail clip!  You can hear him walk across the floor, which means it's time.

I need to do the same with my dog (Baby). I was not aware that it is more important for older dogs and Baby is about 10 years old.

H Bob... Bingo regularly goes for a mani/pedi at the vet's. He hates it. I have to drug him up the night before.

Good morning Nina Hollander, Broker (my Love). Now that Baby has been part of our home for two years I am going to try to do it myself. I'm sure I will find out if that works or not on the very first nail. I never would have tried it in the first year, I wanted to gain her trust first.

Good morning Bob,

In caring for a fur baby there are many things to keep top of mind and one is keeping their nails clipped!

Yup! As you said Dorie Dillard Austin TX it's one of many things. As I mentioned in a prior post any family that is thinking of bringing a pet into the home needs to read up on their care before adopting.

Many pet owners dive in blindly and then they get overwhelmed and abondon the pet John Pusa . I think parenting classes should be mandatory.

Yes, it's important to keep our pet's nails trimmed.  I hadn't thought about what it would be like for a guinea pig.
