It is really a horror show when you accidentally cut your dog\u2019s nails far too short resulting in lot of bleeding and yelping of your tyke in pain and discomfort. While it may take you sometime to regain his trust again it is important to look for the quick (connective tissue and skin that lies underneath the hard part of the nail) in your dog\u2019s nails. In a white pooch it can be identified as a dark smaller part on the inside of the nail. While for a black pooch you will find it difficult to identify the quick until you start clipping his nails.<\/p>\n
Start the process by making smaller cuts and scrutinize your doggie\u2019s nails and once you start seeing a whitish or grey circle in the middle it means that you are getting close to the quick. If by chance you accidentally cut into the quick resulting in bleeding take these emergency home remedies for stopping the dog nail breeding and treating your furry friend:<\/p>\n
Styptic Powder<\/strong><\/p>\n It is also considered to be an antiseptic containing ferric sub-sulfate that shrinks the blood vessels of the dog and stops the bleeding. Get this powder and apply it gently on the dog\u2019s nails and keep the pooch still for several minutes after application.<\/p>\n Baking Soda, Baking Flour or Cornstarch<\/strong><\/p>\n Grab a pinch of these ingredients and apply it on the dog\u2019s nails. Apply pressure on his fingers for a while and then ease him. You can even add water to these ingredients, thereby making a paste out of it. Apply it on the nail and keep the dog still for a couple of minutes for the blood to clot completely.<\/p>\n Bar of Soap<\/strong><\/p>\n Moist the bar of soap and gently press the dog\u2019s nail in it. Alternatively, gently drag the nail across the bar. The soap should be fragrance free and the dog should stay still for several minutes for the blood to clot.<\/p>\n
