How do I know how far I can cut my dogs nails?

Any Q

Clip only the tip of the nail, straight across. Include the dewclaws, located on the inner side of the paw. Avoid clipping past the curve of the nail or you risk hitting what is called the quick (the pink area of the nail that contains the blood vessels). A nick there is painful and will bleed.


How far back should I trim my dogs nails?

The quick in each dog nail contains nerves and blood vessels. You should avoid cutting the quick, as it will bleed and cause your dog some discomfort. If your dog has white nails, you should be able to see the quick as a faint pink line. Cut no closer than 2 mm from the quick.
