Great question! I would use animal nail clippers which you can get from a pet shop. Be sure to avoid the quick, which is the pink part of the nail. If that is cut, it will bleeding a lot and be painful to the dog. I will link a website that details exactly how to cut your dog's nails: https://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/outreach/Pet-Health-Topics/categories/procedures/dogs/clipping-your-dog's-claws
