    clipping nails

    which is the right way to clip a dogs nails?  From the side, or the top/bottom?  Which way should they be angled?

    I believe it is top/[8D] bottom. At our grooming place we try to cut them all most completely straight so that it looks nice and all most no snags maybe a slight curve to the top, but yeah top/ bottom. It's hard to explain. Hopes this at least helps. To the side I don't think it cuts right.

    thanks, blue, I've always been holding the clipper in a way that it is vertical(the clippers them selves), so I guess  this is wrong?[&:]
