If you’re a dog owner in Kampala—from Ntinda to Makindye, from Bugolobi to Kasubi—you’ve probably searched for “dog nail trimming near me”, “veterinary clinic to cut my dog’s nails”, or “best dog nail trimming service in Kampala.” You’re not alone. Trimming your dog’s nails is a key part of pet grooming, but many owners feel nervous doing it themselves. That’s why Superior Animal Clinic, along Salaama Road in Makindye, is here to help.
Why Is Dog Nail Trimming Important?
Long nails can hurt your dog. They can split, cause infections, change your dog’s posture, and even make walking painful. If your dog clicks on the floor when walking or keeps licking their paws, it might be time for a trim.
At Superior Animal Clinic, we make the nail cutting process safe, stress-free, and comfortable for both you and your pet.

Our Step-by-Step Nail Trimming Process at Superior Animal Clinic
- Check the Nails First
Our vet will examine your dog’s nails to determine how much needs trimming, and check for signs of infection or injury. - Calming the Dog
We use gentle handling and, if needed, calming techniques to make your dog relaxed. No muzzles unless absolutely necessary. - Using the Right Tools
We use sharp, sterilized nail clippers or grinders suited to your dog’s size and breed. - Safe and Precise Cutting
We trim just to the safe zone (avoiding the quick) to prevent pain or bleeding. If a nail bleeds, we stop it immediately with styptic powder. - Smoothing the Edges
If needed, we use a grinder to smooth rough edges, making it more comfortable for your dog to walk. - Treat and Praise
After the trim, we reward your dog with a treat to build a positive association.

Why Dog Owners Trust Superior Animal Clinic
