Maintaining your dog's nails
Depending on your dog's lifestyle, you can expect to trim their nails every 2 to 4 weeks. If you hear your dog's nails tapping on the ground, it's time to trim them. Here are some pointers:
1. Always use nail clipper made for dogs.
2. Trim the nail, clipping only the tip above the quick to avoid blood vessels or nerves.
Note: White nails have a pink quick going from the base of the nail to near the tip and is easily visible. A black nail has a quick that is darker than the rest of the nail making it difficult to see.
3. If the quick is accidentally cut, the nail will start to bleed. Use Kwik Stop styptic to stop the bleeding.
4. Nails trimmed on a regular basis will have a receding quick making them easier to maintain.
