Why don't you call the business and ask them?? seems logical they might be able to tell you what their services are and how much they charge for them.Does petco/petsmart cut guinea pig nails in the salon?
Why not do the job yourself and save some money?





It's not difficult.





Get some nail clippers and sit the piggy on your knee - get someone to hold it if you're nervous.





Don't clip too much off and don't clip near to where the blood vessel in the base of the nail is - you can see some red, so don't clip down too far. If you do clip the vessel then it's not dangerous, just a bit sore. Dab some flour onto the area and it will soon clot.
yes, they do as well as pet smart salon. I,think its cheaper than taking it to the vet.
No. Unless someone there will offer to do it for you, the groomers generally won't offer that service. The small animal specialist may do it for you, but most will not. It's not really a part of their jobs and it could be more of a risk than it's worth.





I'd just do it yourself.
Call and ask.

  4. Terrible advice & your RUDE. My guinea pigs will squirm so much that I won't be able to clip their nails without accidentally hurting them & I don't wanna hurt them. Guinea pigs fragile animals
