Nails contain both blood vessels ("Quick") and nerves, and cutting the nail too short can cause bleeding and pain. When trimming nails, it is important to keep a sufficient distance from the quick with 45° to avoid pain or bleeding.
Step 1: Hold your dog’s paws often and introduce the clippers frequently to your dog, make him familiar with the clipper.
Step 2: Hold your dog’s paw firmly but gently. Put the nail right to the safety guard. Cut the nail below the quick at a 45°angle, taking off small amounts at a time.
Step 3: Trim only until you see the white inside the nail with a small dot of black in the center. Be careful not to cut the quick.
Step 4: Finally, your furry friend has healthy and beautiful nails.
