I Cut My Dog S Nail Too Short

If you cut your dogs nails too short resulting in bleeding do not panic.

Cutting a nail too short is colloquially called quicking because we call the nail bed where the nerves and blood vessels live the quick. Plus blood can get on furniture clothing and carpet if you don t stop the bleeding quickly. Please note that while it s true that a dremel cauterizes as it shortens the nails so there is no blood the dog will still feel pain if you get the nail too short. So when you quick a dog you damage the nerves and vessels and it hurts a lot and bleeds a really lot.

You should only trim off the tip but if you accidentally cut your dog s nails too short they may yip in pain and start bleeding. Dremeling the nails is an excellent way to keep a dog s nails short if your dog is cooperative for the tool and you are comfortable handling the dremel. Once bleeding stops the wound can then be bandaged to protect from further injury. Dogs have learned that sometimes nails get cut too short and so have people.

Yes enjoy the wordplay.
