Probably not, but you had best get that dog to a vet ASAP to make sure there isn't a serious issue or that stitches, etc., won't be necessary.

My dogs nail got ripped off and is hanging by the root. A small portion is still connected. Bleeding has stopped but now I'm left with this hanging nail. How do I remove it without hurting him?
you should get him to a vet, dogs have veins and nerves in their nails and it's possible one of these has been cut. i wouldn't suggest removing the nail yourself
