My daughter gave my husband a ****zu about 2 months ago, I am embarrassed to tell you how neglected the poor baby had been - note here I am a cat person. I have been so busy bathing and clipping pure CRAP chunks outta his hair trying to clean him up and make sure to begin with that he didn't have any skin infection, I haven't had a chance to check his nails yet. I pretty sure they are Ok, tho as he hasn't scratched me with them, and the fact that we have a LOT of sand stone rocks on the top of the hill to scruff them off.

Now the goat is another story all together!! She was orphaned at 11 days old and I bottle fed her, and I am asssuming that she didn't get the proper nutrients from her mothers milk so her hooves don't grow properly. As i mentioned with the dog we have lots of rocks, but her hooves don't wear off properly either, so I get the lucky job of trimming them or she gets to the point she can't even walk on them. She is taller than a boar goat but not heavy as those, and has a LARGE set of horns and she doesn't like me trimming her feet anymore than I like doing it. I have to tie her head on three sides so she can't accidentally hit me with the horns and use horse hoove trimmers. Goats feet can be cut into the quick just like a dog or a horse, and I have all of the above and NONE dislike having their feet touched as bad as Chocolate the goat!

While trimming a big dogs feet that doesn't like it I know can be a real bear of a job, just picture me working on Chocolate and take care of those babies. She is just a BIG baby and that is why I take care of her feet. (When it is done a cold beer usually stops my hands from shaking)
