You can smooth any rough or sharp edges by using a finger nail file. This should help.

Please calm yourself. If you are afraid of infection, your vet can prescribe an antibiotic.

How do I know when to trim my dogs nails?

[mybreeder]

@flippery8382 The nails are made up of two parts - the quick (which is pink) and the tip (which is white) very much like human nails. If the white tip of the dogs nails grow too long, they can cause the dog pain when walking, and loss of balance. The best length for the white tip to be only slightly longer than then quick.

My little rat terrier dog is very feisty with nail clippers. I had no one else to secure her as she yelped and pulled her feet away as I prepared to cut. Thanks to you tube I found out someone who had the same trouble but succeeded with filing. I got a heavy duty thick black emery board out of the bathroom and went to work. The dog was much calmer and almost went to sleep as I wore down the nails safely, close to the quick, and rounded the ends. Filing takes more time but it works and is easy.

@Ncharlestun Thanks for your advice.

@LakeTiticaca100 I agree, for some of us who need good advice on how to cut your dog's nails, this is a really horrible way to demostrate this. why not show a dog with long nails. the dog on this video nails are way too short, and looks like the clippers are positioned a bit over the wick, which is what you really want avoid cutting.

The video keep showing a person about to cut WAY TOO SHORT...into the quick! Terrible video and what's with the typos? LAME

[shaggytars]

a photo of the dogs finished nail after clipping would be a bit of help. Kinda crappy video.

[Berus7777]

This is terrible... very vague instructions, and spends more time telling you how to deal with cutting your dog to the quick than how to avoid it. Really bad job. Redo this video, please, and spend more time explaining how to avoid the quick, rather than trying to sell the first-aid product for hurting your dog. This is so messed up... please remove this video or redo it. Seriously.

Kwik stop gel is better for stoping it faster

If you cut the nail as described at 1:26 you would cause bleeding. That is much too short and would be cutting the quik. In fact, if you cut the nail too short you can cause a lot of bleeding. Just today we had a case where a Golden Retriever lost 20% of his blood due to a severed artery (yes, artery) from a broken nail which bled for two hours until it was surgically repaired.

Here's a tip - if you want to clip your dog's nails do it after you bathe them so they are soft and less painful
