How to trim your dog's nails 💅🏼
We are updating our client education videos! This is a demonstration on how to trim your dog's nails and how to visualize their quick.
To start with, you should have nail trimmers and quick stop, which is a powder that stops the bleeding if you do happen to hit their blood vessel. If you don't have any on hand, cornstarch is a good alternative.
When you trim, you want to make nail "confetti", meaning you trim tiny portions at a time so you can visualize the quick and not trim too much. You should see a black or pink circle start to appear and that is where you should stop trimming.
The more you trim their nails the more the quicks will recede and stay short.
Yes, we realize that not every dog will be as easy to handle as Tate is, but this is more of a video showing how to trim the nails, not restrain for nail trims. Keep an eye out for another potential video showing how to restrain a more wiggly dog.
