Nail trims for pets

Submitted by csw0528 t3_znq1jq in rva

Hey guys! Hope this is alright to post, but I’m in the vet field and trying to make a little extra cash for holiday expenses. I’m offering in-home nail trims if anyone is interested. I have experience with pretty much any animal you can imagine, so as long as your dog/cat/rabbit/iguana/kangaroo (jk please don’t have a kangaroo) won’t rip my face off, shoot me a message and I’m happy to help. I have a special soft spot for senior kitties, so hoping to maybe even pick up some folks that may be interested in making it a routine thing 🥰 Thanks!

Omg! What’s your pricing for cats?

It varies a little depending on where you live - but generally I’d say about $20 per cat. If you would like to message me your address, I can give you a more exact quote

It varies a little depending on where you live - but typically about $30 for the first dog and then $20 each after that (if you have multiple pups). If you message me your address, I can give you a more exact quote.

How about a stubborn shiba who hates his paws touched?

I’d recommend asking your veterinarian to prescribe a good calming medication/sedative that you can pick up to give at home, and then I’d be happy to try. No sense in going into something without chemical assistance if we know he already hates it. I have a weakness for Shibas even though I haven’t worked with a single one that hasn’t screamed like a parrot for nail trims 😂

He has a anxiety prescription for these cases! We typically go to the vet to get his nails done and they give him a sedative shot along with the oral medication we give him beforehand. He really hates going to the vet though so I didn’t know if an in home session would be easier for him/us, ya know minus the sedative shot.

Yeah, if he’s needed injectable sedation in the past I can’t guarantee anything, but I’m more than happy to give things a try - feel free to message me!
