My two RES are getting older now, and because they are males, they are growing these REALLY long claws on their front feet. does anyone know of a good way to clip the nails? i have normal people fingernail clippers, and we have a huge black lab, so we have really big dog clippers (i dont think these would work too well). any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm kind of nervous because i havent done this before. thanks a lot!
