What is the proper way to trim your dogs nails2007-11-25 2:52:48

Taking the dogs for walks on concrete or hard surfaces will help to wear down the nails and make it easier to trim.

If you do happen to cause bleeding, make sure to have styptic powder handy. This should help stop the flow of blood.

If they bleed, then you are cutting them too short. Dogs toenails should be cut just below the quick. If you look at the underneath side of the nail, there is an opening in the harder nail on the top side, where there is softer tissue. The harder surface gradually comes together and totally covers the softer tissue. This is the point at where the nail should be trimmed. Any shorter, and it's like cutting your own fingernails too close. It's hurts, bleeds, and many times gets sore before healing. Also, use a quality set of trimmers, as dull trimmers do not provide a good clean cut.
