I think part of it is because basset nails are so big it takes an awful lot of force to push the cutters through...might be uncomfortable/painful.47http://www.roccoshouse.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186691755378506201.post-21591388579368206192011-12-14T15:42:51.144-05:002011-12-14T15:42:51.144-05:00Oh no, poor Fred.

When they're so thick like that, it probably does hurt a bit.<br /><br />And don't even get me started about Bella, the scared-y dog. I've been trying for 3 years to get her used to the Dremmel so I can trim her nails quickly. I'm still filing them manually. Maybe someday...Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538737461438864728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186691755378506201.post-70565651850508635352011-12-13T23:07:52.747-05:002011-12-13T23:07:52.747-05:00Hi, Bassettmomma!

I just can't (won't) do it and my husband doesn't even like to do it, so we just pay up. Poor Fred! But it must be done.

We make sure the clippers are nice and sharp, but I think it is still not comfortable for him. We do use the lure of the treat to get him and Storm to cooperate. The easiest nails in this house to clip are the cat's.2browndawgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792375606466389228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186691755378506201.post-58873626851603351202011-12-13T18:19:16.059-05:002011-12-13T18:19:16.059-05:00Two of my dogs seem to think they have nerve endin...Two of my dogs seem to think they have nerve endings in their nails.

Winston wiggles and whinnes so bad that we cannot hold him down. So he goes to the vet for name trims as well, but we try to go every 2 weeks if not once a month. We did find a place right out our back door that does nail trims for $5.00 and we have been going there since it is close. He does a lot better if they take him in a backroom where he cannot see his Mommy. Amiee will go to sleep while you trim her nails but goes give Winston moral support. When we had Cleo, nobody touched her nails except for her vetman. She would jump on the table and put her paw out to him but she would take my finger and hands off if I tried. BOL It is funny how each one is so different. Sniffs, The HoundDogs<br /><br />P.S..My vet says he throws away the nail trimmers after doing the hounds because they aren't worth using anymore. You are right they are tough as nails. :)HoundDogMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828509164127432246noreply@blogger.com
