Your dog's nails should barely touch the ground when s/he walks. If you hear clicking noises on the floor when they walk, it's time to cut them. You should use clippers designed specifically for pets. Ask your vet or groomer for advice. Make sure the clippers are sharp and not dull. Start at the tip of the nail and cut a little at a time. Look at the cut edge of the nail. When you start to see pale pink tissue near the top of the cut edge, STOP. You can use a nail file to smooth the edges further. Avoid cutting into the quick. The quick contains nerves and blood vessels, if cut it is painful and will bleed easily. On white nails, the quick is the pink section. Be careful when cutting darker nails, as the quick is much harder to see. If the tip of the nail begins to bleed, apply pressure using styptic powder or a substitute such as baby powder. Do not wipe the blood clot off the tip of the nail once the bleeding has stopped.
