To prevent your dog's nails from being worn down to the quick, regularly trim their nails to keep them at a proper length. Additionally, provide your dog with surfaces like concrete or asphalt for them to walk on, as this can naturally wear down their nails. Regular exercise on these surfaces can help maintain your dog's nail length and prevent them from becoming overgrown.

How short should I cut my dogs 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.
