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.

∙ 12y agoA dog's nail has a nerve in it called the quick. If your dog has clear nails you should be able to see a pink-red area in the nail. It will run along the nail in the same shape. You should cut the nail before the point of the quick in order to prevent any discomfort or bleeding to your dog. If your dog's nails are black then the best your can do is cut little bits at a time. If you hit the tip of the quick it will bleed a little bit but you can either put some "quickstop" on it, or home remedy: use flour.
