Why clip a dog's nails?
If a dog's nails go untrimmed for too long, they face ingrown nails or very uncomfortable and painful walking. It can also snag materials like clothing and cause injury to humans and other animals in the household.
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.

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.

Do not use a shampoo that is formulated for humans because it will dry out your dog's coat and some ingredients may be toxic to a dog. If you have a dog with white fur, choose a shampoo that is formulated for whitening to get the best results. Dogs with allergies will benefit from an oatmeal based shampoo. Dogs with long hair should be conditioned after you've finished shampooing. Be sure to brush your pet before you give it a bath.

Use dog nail clippers, not human clippers, as human clippers will split the nails. Try to clip your dog's nails about once a month. If your dog has clear nails, you will be able to see where the quick ends and just clip above the quick. If your dog has black nails, have your dog stand on the floor and clip the nails so that they are level to the floor. This way, you will be sure not to cut the quick. If you cut the nails too short, they will bleed. Keep a styptic pencil on hand to stop the bleeding, in case you accidentally clip one of your dogs nails too short.If you like the finishing touches that a groomer uses, such as bandanas or little hair bows, you can pick these up fairly inexpensively at your local pet shop or at an online pet store.
