The trick is to avoid the quick so they don't bleed, and it is hard in dark-nailed dogs. Have your vet show you how. Otherwise, just take the amount off you feel comfortable with--and if you clip the quick, you'll know it was too far. (Clipping regularly causes the quick to recede, so there is less risk of bleeding over time if you clip regularly.) You can use a dog stenching product to stop the bleeding if any starts.

How short should I cut my dogs nails?

You should clip your dogs nails only a little bit at a time. There is something called a "quick" in dog's nails. If you cut into the quick then the nail will start to bleed and it will have hurt the dog, to a point to that they dog won't let you clip their nails anymore. If you clip the nails a little bit say once a week, the quick will start to recede, making it safer to clip your dogs nails without hurting them.


How do you determine how short to clip a dogs nails?

In my experience, a dog's nails are just like ours - the 'quick' will be a darker color than the grown nail. Just clip the 'white' portion, being careful not to get too close to the darker 'quick'. If you do, I'm sure your dog will let you know - plus, it will draw blood.

How do you clip a guinea pigs nails?

To clip a guinea pig's nails, gently hold the guinea pig in your lap and use small animal nail clippers to trim the tips of the nails, being careful not to cut into the quick (the pink part inside the nail).
