[NAGDU] Clipping dogs nails

[Julie Johnson]

The basic principles of cutting nails apply equally to cats.  You will 
need a much smaller pair of clippers intended for cats.  That said, I'd 
also invest in some protective gear or a cat straight jacket before 
proceeding.  Dogs can be trained to cooperate and be still for 
trimming.  I've not come across a cooperative cat.  Of course your 
mileage may vary. Good luck!
