Clipping your dog’s nails can be a stressful task if you are nervous about cutting them yourself. The first time clipping nails, most pet owners are afraid of injuring their pet. It is important to keep your pet’s nails short and manageable to maintain healthy paws and nail development. Ask your Veterinarian or pet groomer for the right tools to buy for the size of your dog. Here are some pointers to consider before you clip your pet’s nails for the first time.
Why is it important to keep your pet’s nails well groomed?
* To minimize the risk of nail bed infections, auto-immune disorders, and to monitor any abnormalities around the nail beds and paws.
* Maintain smooth, rounded ends; minimizing scratches on people’s skin and furniture damage.
* Shorter nails allow for better traction on pavement and flooring.
* Longer, un-kept nails can curl up and dig into the soft flesh of the pads.
* Un-kept, longer nails absorb friction and impact from the ground sending them back towards the nail beds causing sensitivity or pain.
When should you have your dog’s nails trimmed?
* Dog’s nails should be kept short enough to keep them from touching the ground while standing.
* When you hear clicking of the nails on flooring.
* When nails become torn, split, or sharp.
* Check every week to see how long your pet’s nails are. Depending on the amount and type of exercise your pet gets will determine how quickly they need trimming.
* Trimming nails after bathing is a good time since the nails will be softer. Remember to inspect the dew claws since they aren’t worn down by exposure to the ground.
How do you trim your pet’s nails to prevent bleeding?
* It is important to clip more often and take off less nail each time to allow for the blood supply and nerves to shrink back away from the nail ends.
* Gently put pressure on the paw close to the nail bed to separate the nail from the others to see clearly where you are clipping.
* Look for the quick, (the pink area within the nail that has the nerves and blood vessels), never cut too close to this area. Cut on a 45 degree angle.
* Hold the paw near the nail gently but firmly, if you feel your pet pull away don’t clip, wait till your pet is still and comfortable.
* If you do accidentally draw blood apply a blood-clotting accelerant such as Kwik-Stop or ClotIt to slow down the bleeding. Always consult a Veterinarian if bleeding doesn’t stop quickly.
What are the tools you’ll need to clip your dog’s nails?
* You may want to consider using a dremel or nail grinder instead of clippers, or a combination of both tools.
* Buy a grinder that is quiet and has variable speeds. (Trim excess fur from around dog’s paws so it doesn’t get caught in any moving pieces).
* Clippers should be concave at the cutting edge, sharp, clean, and the right size for your dog.
* Scissor and plier-style cutters are easier to use than guillotine trimmers so experiment to find the right trimmer you are comfortable using.
* Emery boards to file sharp edges, if you don’t have a dremel.
* If your dog nips at you or gets upset, you may need a muzzle for protection.
* Lots of dog treats!!
How to reassure your pet during nailing clipping?
* Start clipping your pet’s nails when they are young every week or two, taking off small amounts of nail slowly and carefully. Make sure your dog is used to having his/her paws and nails touched.
* Have treats ready for when your dog starts to get anxious. Take time to give lots of praise and petting. Stop for short periods if your dog is resisting the treatment.
* A spoonful of peanut butter on a plate will distract a puppy long enough to trim some nails if everything else fails! (Make sure peanut butter DOES NOT contain Xylitol).
If you have any reservations about how to go about clipping your dog’s nails, or are too nervous to attempt this yourself, contact Pet City Canada to book an appointment with our knowledgeable dog groomers. Our qualified staff will groom your dog and clip their nails professionally and safely.
5 Great Ways to Keep Your Dog Active and Healthy During the Winter Months
in Dog Walking/by Pet City CanadaIf you’re like most people, leaving the comforts of your warm home to venture outside during the colder days of winter takes motivation! Dogs like most people feel good once they return from a long walk outdoors. Exercise during the winter months is just as important for your canine companion as it is during the spring and summer. Here are a few great ways to help keep your dog healthy and happy during the colder days of winter.
Schedule Outdoor Walks
Dogs as well as their owners are creatures of habit. Your dog will become conditioned to anticipating his/her outdoor walk if it happens around the same time each day. Set out a time that works best for your lifestyle. If your dog is home all day on its own, maybe schedule your walk as soon as you get home. Your pet will be ready to burn off energy, while you can unwind from your workday.
Take Part in Locally Sponsored Doggy Daycares and Activities
Check your area for dog walking parks, doggy daycares, dog walkers, and other animal activities. Canine agility classes are a great way to meet other dog owners and their dogs while gaining discipline and exercise for your dog! Many communities have hydrotherapy and swimming pools for dogs.
Monitor Your Dogs Weight During Winter
If your dog becomes too inactive during the winter months it’s advisable to talk with your Veterinarian. You may have to modify the amount of food your dog eats or find indoor activities for your pet. Did you know there are treadmills on the market that are designed specifically for dogs?
Invest in a Pet Coat and Booties
Pet coats aren’t only used to keep short haired dogs warm on colder winter days; they are great for keeping long haired dogs much drier in the rain and snow. Once your dog is used to wearing booties, you’ll reap the benefits of protecting paws, cleaner floors, and limiting paw injury.
Clean Paws After Every Walk
Chemicals and toxic runoff will be on roadways, paths, and grasses; toxins are dependent on the season. During the winter months road salt and de-icing chemicals as well as anti-freeze will pose a threat to your dog. The soft pads of their paws will absorb these substances from outside surfaces.
Wash your dog’s paws with warm soapy water and pat dry after every outing to prevent your dog from ingesting any toxic residue. Make sure the household cleaners you use are pet safe products as well!
If you are unable to walk outside during the winter months, you may consider hiring a dog walker or doggy daycare. Call Pet City Canada to ask about our services and rates!
5 Great Tips to Consider Before Giving a Dog for Christmas
in Uncategorized/by Pet City CanadaAs the holidays quickly approach, and you think the perfect gift is a dog, there a few things to consider beforehand. Bringing home a pet and surprising your family on Christmas morning comes with some careful considerations. A pet can’t be put back in its wrapper with receipt in hand and returned! When searching for that perfect dog, you must keep in mind that a pet isn’t just a cuddly Christmas gift, it’s a long-term commitment.
1. Who really wants a pet for Christmas?
Having any pet has to be a family commitment. Make sure your family or friend really want to be raising a pet. If you have a puppy or dog in mind remember that the life expectancy of a dog is 12 to 15 years!
It may be a wonderful idea to have a cute puppy sitting by the tree with a big red bow around its neck waiting for the family to wake up. Make sure the recipient of this live gift is going to be as excited as you are and not totally upset.
2. How to pick a Breed that will be a perfect match for your family.
Consider the age of your family members, the size of your dwelling, rambunctiousness of the breed, your location, etc, before you decide on which breed is right for you.
3. Which are the best dog breeds for your lifestyle?
If you have a smaller home then a Pomeranian, Basenj, Maltese, Terrier, Spaniel, or Chihuahua may be suitable.
Some dog breeds that are known to be great with kids are the Bulldog, Beagle, Collie, Newfoundland, Irish Setter, Labrador/Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and
Bernese Mountain.
If you are getting older and want a great breed for companionship then the Schnauzer, Cocker Spaniel, Chihuahua, Terrier, Pug, or Shih Tzu may be what you have in mind.
4. How to schedule family chores fairly.
Children are notorious for saying they’ll look after a pet, but in reality, this novelty wears off. Chores must be appropriate to the age of the family member and distributed fairly.
Add variety to the duties so smaller children don’t get bored with repetitive jobs. Even a young child can wash the dog’s dishes; fill food and water bowls, and help brush your animal’s fur.
5. How to survive the holidays with a new dog.
The holidays are packed with celebrations, decorations, confusion, and travel. Having a new dog for Christmas is one more thing to juggle during this busy time. Setting up dog boarding, doggy daycare, or asking a family member or friend to look after your pet ahead of time will save you a lot of stress and anxiety.
Be aware of the hazards a new pet can find around and under the tree! Keep small toys, wrapping paper, bows, and chocolate out of sight of wandering doggy eyes. Dogs have an incredible sense of smell so don’t leave wrapped candy and chocolate under the tree!
If you need help with your new pet’s care and grooming before and after the holiday season, please contact Pet City Canada for professional, quality services.
Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks: How to Socialize an Anti-Social Dog
in Dog Walking, Pet Tips, Safety/by Pet City CanadaIf owning an anti-social dog leaves you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or frustrated, you’re in good company! Dogs are usually outgoing, social, and inquisitive beings, but how do you deal with a dog that is fearful of new situations, or just simply unwilling to interact with others?
Believe it or not, training your anti-social dog starts with how YOU react to your pet! Here are a few pointers to help assist you in training an anti-social dog.
You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks!
Of course, the younger your dog is the easier it is to break bad habits; but you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Dogs are more receptive to training lessons between 3 and 12 weeks of age but with the right tools, you can be successful with training older dogs too.
Teaching any dog requires patience, practice, and consistency. Your commands need to be direct and simple. Once your pooch has mastered your first commands slowly increase your training. It is easier to train your dog if he/she listens well and comes to you when called. Continually practice all the commands you wish your pet to follow and give plenty of praise.
The secret to success is always being prepared with lots of treats.
Use a Leash or Harness Until Your Dog Becomes Social
Have your dog on a leash or harness until you are confident that he/she will follow your commands; this gives you the control to remove your dog quickly if any threatening or aggressive situations happen.
If your dog feels uncomfortable remove him/her quickly to a quiet area until there are no further signs of distress. Back away a few feet and give praise if you sense and your dog is anxious about an approaching another dog or person.
If you think your dog will nip or bite others, try using a muzzle until your dog shows no further signs of aggression.
Keep Your Voice and Body Language Neutral and Direct
Most of us tend to become loud and frantic if our dog tears off baring teeth and barking. Now isn’t the time to scream and charge after Fido. Keeping yourself calm and composed will defuse a stressful encounter.
Dogs pick up on our fears and anxieties and will respond accordingly. Speak kindly and gently when giving commands but firmly enough so your dog knows you are in control.
Don’t yank your dog back harshly by the leash; this only startles and frightens your dog. Hold the leash firmly and talk gently.
Expose Your Dog Gradually to New Situations
Don’t take your dog out walking once and expect him to master socialization. It takes time and short periods of exposure to new situations to help your dog become comfortable.
If your dog is nervous and shy, don’t force her to interact with other dogs until you see signs of readiness. You may decide to expose your dog slowly by walking outside the fence of a dog park for a few days first before taking your dog inside the enclosure.
Keep outings short to begin with and increase the duration of each trip when your dog is ready. You may have a dog that simply doesn’t like being with too many dogs at one time. Your dog will be the best one to let you know what it’s comfortable with.
Perhaps try socializing your dog with other dogs you are familiar with to start.
Dog Walking Groups or Doggie Day Care Can Keep Your Dog Socialized
Dogs need and thrive on healthy interactions from other animals and people, therefore, dog walking groups and doggie day care can provide this exposure.
Dog walkers and doggie daycare staff are trained with animal interactions and understand canine behaviours; this encourages a safe environment for socialization.
If everything you tried still doesn’t work and your dog remains stubborn and anti-social, you may want to consider dog training classes. Ask a professional dog grooming salon or your Veterinarian for reputable courses or local trainers.
Contact us at Pet City Canada for further information regarding our awesome Doggie Daycare. We’d love to help socialize your pet with new canine friends in our indoor and outdoor spaces. Once you’re registered, you can even book online!

Top Reasons Your Dog Eats Grass [and Throws It Up!]
in Dog Walking, Pet Tips, Safety/by Pet City CanadaEver found your dog eating a buffet of long green grass, only later to find out he threw it all up? It seems very peculiar when a dog eats grass even though their food dish is full! As a pet owner you may be concerned that your dog is sick, hungry, or stressed. Rest assured that eating grass is considered a normal behaviour for dogs, however, it could mean your dog is self-medicating for a larger issue. You simply have to know your dog’s moods, habits, and health to be the expert with this situation.
Here are some common reasons dog’s eat grass:
Relieve Stomach and Digestion Pain
Other studies suggest this is how dogs’ self-regulate to treat intestinal worms or to increase digestion. It is said that dogs lack the gastric enzymes to break down grass fibres, however, they use the long strands to induce vomiting when their stomach is upset. One study reported that when a dog has motion sickness, it eats grass and vomits to alleviate symptoms of stomach upset as soon as it gets out of the vehicle!
Lack of Nutrients
A few studies have shown that a dog may be lacking chlorophyll or need a high fibre diet if they are regularly consuming grass. Long before dogs became domesticated they foraged for food; eating grasses, berries, fruits, and vegetables. So when our four legged friends eat grass today we shouldn’t be overly concerned unless you observe other health conditions and concerns. If you are worried about the quality of grass your canine friend may be ingesting, you can create a pet friendly grass plot in your yard!
Just for Fun
Some dogs just find it fun or relaxing to graze grass. This is especially common for puppies who are looking for entertainment.
If your dog is always munching on the lawn you should consult a Veterinarian to rule out any medical or behavioural issues. With the use of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers on outdoor gardens and lawns, you must be careful where your dog decides to chew their greens. Check with your local nursery or Animal Poison Control Center to familiarize yourself with toxic plants and grasses that grow in your yard or local parks.

Signs, Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention of Pet Heat Exhaustion
in Uncategorized/by Pet City CanadaAs the hot weather of summer rises, so does the accidental incidences of pet heat exhaustion. Since dogs don’t sweat out excess body heat, they are more susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Pet owners should know the signs, symptoms, treatments, and preventions associated with pet overheating. When dogs become symptomatic of overheating you need to act quickly to prevent heatstroke, kidney failure, and/or cardiac arrest.
If you suspect your dog has heat exhaustion, monitor his/her body temperature and heart rate closely. If your dogs’ temperature rises to 102 degrees Fahrenheit or above your pet needs to be seen by a Veterinarian. Your pet is considered to be at risk of heat stroke or cardiac arrest if his/her body temperature reaches 106 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Always contact a Veterinarian before starting any home treatments. Read more to learn about the signs, symptoms, treatments, and prevention of Pet Heat Exhaustion.
Signs:
• Excessive Panting and/or drooling.
• Lethargy (slower at responding and drowsiness), or restlessness.
• Rapid heart rate and increased respiratory rate.
• Glazed eyes, dizziness, lack of coordination.
Symptoms:
• Gums or tongue may turn blue or bright red, and ear tips turn red.
• Collapse or convulse.
• Increased body temperature.
• Vomiting and/or diarrhea.
• Gasping for breath.
Treatment:
• Consult a Veterinarian as soon as you suspect your dog has heat exhaustion or other health concerns to avoid delay in starting treatment.
• Remove your pet from direct sunshine, hot enclosures, or areas with poor ventilation.
• Move your pet into an air-conditioned room or near a fan.
• If near water such as a lake, river, pool, sprinkler, or garden hose, wet your dog slowly. Put your dog in the bathtub if you are not near another source of water.
• Check body temperature using a rectal thermometer (normal canine body temperature is between 101 – 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.3 – 39.2 Celsius).
• Monitor temperature closely and bring it down to 103 degrees Fahrenheit if it is elevated; you don’t want to decrease body temperature too quickly or too low. You can also use a dog cooling mat for your furry friend to lay on during the day.
• Offer cool or lukewarm water and plenty of it! A small amount of salt can be added to the water to replace the minerals that have been lost due to drooling. Don’t give your dog ice chips as this will bring down body temperature too quickly.
Prevention:
• Make sure the pet enclosure is well ventilated with good air flow.
• Carry a container of water and keep your pet well hydrated. You can find many options for dog water bowls travelling without having to bring a large dish.
• Don’t over-exercise your pet during hot or humid weather.
• Give your dog shady and cooler places to rest often.
• Take walks in the morning or evening when the heat of the day is not so intense.
• Keep walks confined to parks and forests, try avoiding walking on hot pavement.
Younger dogs, older dogs, and dogs with thicker coats are more at risk of heat exhaustion than most. If your home isn’t air-conditioned you may want to consider Doggy Daycare while you are away during the day. Make an appointment with one of our qualified Pet Groomers at Pet City Canada to condition and clip your dogs’ coat for the summer’s hot weather.
Helpful Advice to Keep Your Canine Companion Safe During Tick Season
in Uncategorized/by Pet City CanadaDid you know that Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses are on the rise in many parts of Canada? These illnesses are not only a concern for your canine companion but for you as well! Being aware of the signs and symptoms of tick exposure is your first line of preparedness. As the weather warms up, so does the tick population. Ticks can be found in woodlands, urban parks, or your own backyard. Monitor your pet’s skin and fur after every outdoor activity to keep them tick free and healthy. Regular grooming, with a professional, experienced groomer, can help in detecting ticks and other ailments as well.
Ticks are the size of a small poppy seed during the nymph stage; pretty hard to detect with an unsuspecting eye! They are usually brown or black in colour and have 8 legs. Ticks are unable to jump or fly so they wait patiently for a host to pass through low branches or long grass, then they attach themselves quickly to man or beast. Once attached, they feast on the blood of their victims, often leaving behind illness. If left untreated, symptoms can become debilitating and chronic. Don’t be fooled – ticks also can reproduce in your home. They hide in carpets, curtain hems, cracks, and behind radiators.
