What's involved
A nail clip is often done by a vet nurse in a short appointment. Older pets, dogs that mostly walk on grass, and rabbits tend to need it more often.
Dark nails make the quick, the living part inside, hard to see. If you are unsure, it is safer to let the practice do it.
Each price is taken from the practice's own website or price list. Prices change, so the practice's own quote is the one that counts.
