Hi, all-I have not been on this forum in years (since my doggo was a pup) and had to create a new name. Anyhow, I've recently started grinding the nails of my 9yo lab myself--we were inconsistent with taking him to the groomer for his nails (very bad, I know) and also the groomer just gives him such anxiety that I decided to try at home. I've watched a few YouTube videos and studied some online instructions and went for it. This is the 3rd time I've ground his nails and I'd like some advice:
1--how is the angle of the nail?
2--why do you think that one nail is black?
I know this is very important for his hips and gait and I do NOT want to mess up his legs as he is very healthy even at 9. Thanks any and all for looking/giving advice.
