How do I clip a dog's tail?

The easiest way to clip a dog's tail is to use heavy-duty scissors or clippers, taking care to keep the clippers straight and blunt tips to prevent injury. Begin by gently grabbing the tail near the base and holding it firmly; start cutting at the base of the tail and continue around the circumference until you reach the tip of the tail. Cutting too much at once can cause excessive bleeding, so be careful and keep cutting in small increments. After you are finished, apply a styptic pencil to any bleeding points.

To clip a dog's tail, start by washing the dog's tail and allowing it to dry. Using some sort of clippers, such as scissors, shear the tail in a controlled manner, making sure to leave an even length. If necessary, use small amounts of a dull blade to ensure a clean cut. Disinfect the cut, and apply an antiseptic if desired.
