How to peticure the nail
Peticure's Three Rules
File the nail for only a 3-5 seconds at one time. This avoids
excess friction
Alternate nails as you are filing. This technique further insures
friction is not an issue.
Always look at the nail after each and every filing pass. This is
necessary to gauge the quick.

How do I know when to stop
The most common question asked about peticures is, "how do I know when to stop". The simple answer to the question
is this. "Filing" as a method of nail removal is very incremental. When removing paper thin layers, the danger of
taking off too much at one time is not possible. If it is your first time using peticure, be conservative and
only round off the sharp edges and obvious overgrowth.

Introducing peticure
Spending a few days properly introducing peticure will make a lifetime of ease in giving them. Turn on peticure
and give the dog his or her favorite treat at the same time. Put the filer close to the dog as you give the
treat. Praise the dog. Repeat this several times until the pet is comfortable and anticipates the treat.
Now, get a treat out as usual except this time we will touch the tip of ONE nail to the peticure filer.
Treat the dog and or play after. Always condition your pet with a positive experience after a encounter.

How to hold your pet
One of the most important things about giving a peticure is how to hold your pet. If the pet parent improperly
positions the pet, giving the peticure may be difficult.
If your dog protests or struggles DO NOT LET HIM OR HER GO and win the exchange. If he struggles it will be
temporary (20 seconds at the most). You must let your pet know that this will be done. The dog will realize
quickly that the process is painless and your assertiveness will calm him/her. It cannot be emphasized
enough the importance of the correct positioning in this instance.

Cutting vs filing
Begin filing the nail. File a nail for no more than 3 to 5 seconds at a time. This will insure that no
unnecessary friction comes into play. Look at nail after every 3-5 second interval to see how much you have
filed. Looking after each filing pass will insure you don't file into the quick. Always alternate nails.
Rotate around until you are finished with a paw.
