yes The nerves are in the "quick" part of the nail, just like our fingernails and toenails. It can be seen as the pink area closest to the toe on clear or white nails, but not on black or brown ones. Pet supply stores have a brand of clipper that detects the quick so it is not cut while clipping the nails, which really hurts the dog and causes bleeding.
