Trimming nails on your Pug is not always a fun job. Some pugs are reluctant, even terrified of getting their nails trimmed.
Some even starts screaming, yelping, and moving around constantly. You fight tooth and nails (no pun intended) to get their nails cut… the ultimate challenge of grit and persistence.
Have you ever experienced the pleasure of trimming a pug's (or any reluctant dog's / animal's) nails?
Well, this 2nd year veterinary student, Roberta who's studying at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University sure can relate!

It took a few years, but we use a Dremel and our pug is relatively calm about it. I think after many years of doing it every couple of weeks no matter how much she protested finally broke her. She barely fights it at all now.

all my pugs have HATED getting their toenails cut-one turned blue in the mouth when he went thru it-my vet said if he had to pick one breed of dog whose toenails were not that horrible it would be the pugs!

I laughed so hard!!! My two pugs endure the PediPaw grinder but do contortions and amazing pushoffs and squirms…then when done, they “attack” the grinder viciously and then huff off

My brother and I used to trim our pug Annie’s toe nails until we could not stand the drama anymore. Now she goes to the vet. One tech holds her in a death grip while the other fights the feet to get to the nails.

William Brown Tried that a while ago . . . might try again. I’ve been trying to massage their feet to get them used to me touching them, maybe it will work better now.

My Max would howl like he was being tortured. My Ziggy never said a word and had not a problem. With our next pugs, we will do them ourselves starting when they are very little. I think that will help.

Makes me sad this :-(( he’s panicking like mad, not good for their already bad breathing either. My puggy will only have his done when put to sleep for other procedures, the vet refuses when he’s awake as he’s so stubborn !

They need their nails trimmed for health reasons whether they like it or not… .. Long nails cause all mums of problems with their feet, knees, backs etc….
