Nowt, cos I do them myself
, now I come to think about it, I never need to clip my own
but I think maybe £6.
Saying that, I was grooming today and squeezed 2 dogs in for bath, anal glands and nails clipped, I charged £12 per dog, they where small to medium size with short coats, bargain

Vet did it for free as he was there for booster shot.

I don't have a dog but my friend gets me to do her dog for her as I am very quick at it (so she says). She bought clippers on the internet. Another friend pays the vet £17!!!!!

I only have his Dew Claws to do, and they are easy and white, so I do them myself!
However I have worked as a dog groomer, so would always do them myself! No idea what we charged for just nails, we would always check them if they came in for a groom and do them if needs be, the cost of the groom wouldn't change.

Deary me...
Ours are kept on concrete slabs and get roadwork every day, but any time I have needed to do it, I've done it myself.

I charge a fiver for walk in nails only. If I have a dog in being groomed, I don't charge extra for nails, its part of the full package (however, if I'm grooming a dog and he doesn't require the nails to be trimmed, I don't take a fiver off, either!).
To stop bleeding - you need either a styptic pencil or powder. You could perhaps try cornstarch (corn flour) in a pinch at home. Haven't used that myself, but heard somewhere that you could use it.

Do mine myself! Just the cost of the clippers about £5!
They get plenty of road work every day but it is just the design of their feet that they do not have perfect feet so I have to step in every couple of weeks to cut them back.
On the stop bleeding front just practice so as to know where the quick is & not to cut that far back & as PucciNPony said styptic pencil (baught in most supermarkets in the shaving department!) or cornstarch powder to dab onto the bleed to stop it.

Fab thanks everyone!
The problem is there is no concrete or anywhere around me to keep them short. Walks are always on grass because thats all there is!
I have never clipped a dogs claws before so I thought if I get it done the first time by a professional I could see how they do it and then do it myself next time.
