Tank HATE's having his feet messed with. I was told he as always been that way and they had to trim the hair between his pads and wash him all the time for shows, he still hates it. I wait until his nails are real long and clicking then we go to the vet. It takes me and 4 nurses to hold him along with a muzzle while the vet clips them with the biggest clippers they have. He cry's like a baby and pulls and fights the entire time. We tried for a while distracting him by shoveling treats in his mouth to keep him distracted while clipping the nails, he figured that out after the second time, so we are back to wrestling with the bear.
I have to call ahead and schedule the day they have the most people there at the vet. Lucky they all love Tank, because no matter what he pop's up afterward with his tail wagging wanting a treat. They only charge me $11 to do it, they definately loose money on us.
