EditSteps
-
1Handle your pet a lot. Be very hands on with your pet and encourage others to do the same. This helps to socialize your animal and gets them used to being touched.
-
2Touch them all over. Kind of like massaging them. Your pet will enjoy it, you will, and this is another way to prepare them.
-
3Touch and hold their feet. This is particular important for the purposes of getting their toenails cut. Whether or not your animal needs to see a groomer, periodically, he will need his toenails cut. At least, he will if he is a dog.
