Some dogs are very obedient and don’t mind the “pampering” at all…

But others need a little peanut butter distraction for you and a couple reinforcements to get the job done.

But let’s get to the nitty-gritty: DON’T use human clippers. The nail cutters below are specifically made for dogs.

You should always do your best to avoid the quick.

The quick is where the blood supply starts, and if you nip it, you’ll get a lot of bleeding and a very unhappy canine.

Luckily, there are three easy ways to stop the bleeding should you accidentally cut too far into the nail.

1. Cornstarch and water

Mix the two together to make a paste. Then, use a Q-tip to apply it to the bleeding nail. Don’t wipe the blood away — just let the paste sit for a few minutes. The purpose is to coagulate the blood. If one layer doesn’t work, add another. (If you don’t have cornstarch, substitute flour or baking soda.)

2. Bar soap

Use a natural, preferably unscented bar of soap, and press your dog’s nail into it. Hold it there for about five minutes (maybe distracting them with some more peanut butter or treats…) and the bleeding should stop.

3. Styptic powder

This powder contains silver nitrate, which is the most effective way to stop bleeding. You can buy this at most pet stores, and all you have to do is dip the nail into the power and apply some pressure with a paper towel. This will sting a little, so if your pup is squeamish, you may want to try the more natural remedies first.

The following plea comes from McKel Matthews:

I am raising money so my dog Doobie can get ACL surgery. He is two years old and is my best friend. He is a very energetic dog and loves to be outside. He tore his ACL playing fetch and because my family hasn’t been able to afford his surgery, his other ACL has torn as well. He can’t walk without carrying his back legs so we are worried that his front legs will blow out as well. As a result, he will have to be put down. 

He’s still such a happy dog even though he’s in pain. He loves people and loves other dogs. He’s playful and loves to snuggle. Right now his favorite thing to do is lay out in the sunshine. Yesterday was the first day that he completely stopped using his back left leg. I have to help him down the stairs on our porch to help him go to the bathroom. We have been giving him painkillers to help with the pain. Today he wouldn’t eat and I’m really worried about it. I’ve tried to get care credit but I don’t have enough credit to be approved. I made a gofundme page because I don’t know how else to raise the money.

I am asking for help so he can have the life he deserves. It breaks my heart that we cannot afford the surgery on our own. I love my dog and I just want him to have a better life. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. It hurts to see him suffer and I appreciate any help.

In the video below, you will see two beautiful dogs giving their mom the best welcome home greeting. The two dogs, Ollie and Lola, are always super excited when they see mom arrive home. And by setting up a camera near the door, their mom caught their excitement on video! Using a GoPro camera, she was able to capture the moment when Ollie the Dalmatian was so excited to see mom arriving outside. Check out the video below!
