are dogs nails supposed to bleed when you clip them

we have a dog lady that comes once in a while to get simba and ace. now we have a third, gizmo. well we happended to get on that subject and she said " oh he will be fine, when i clip their nails they bleed all the time" now i was once told that if they bleed that ment u cut them down too far. please help, and tell me if i need to find a new "dog lady"

That is cut beyond the quick, which is way too short. If she's telling you this is a normal way of doing it and she does it like this every time, find a new place to clip the nails, cuz this lady is hurting your babies when she does this. There is no need to clip to the point of bleeding like that. If the nails are cut regularly, even if they get too long, the quick will eventually receed to a normal length after some time.

Now don't get me wrong, when working with white toe nails, it's easy to see the quick and not nip it, but sometimes with black nails, it can be hard. I will not cut my dog with black nails because I'm to afraid I might accidentally go too short. A good groomer knows how to do even black ones properly, tho occasionally it does happen that it's cut too short. If you happen to do it at home, keep a little dish of corn starch near by and put a bleeding nail in it immediately. This will stop the bleeding and cause the blood to clot properly. Most groomers have a professional powder they use for this as well, cuz accidents can happen.

Definitely find a new person to do this, cuz it sure shouldn't be happening each and every time and nail. No way. She does not know what she's doing.
