If you’re not comfortable trimming your dog’s nails give your vet a call and see if you can bring your dog in for a quick trim. Most vets will charge $10 to $20 for a quick trim. You may also want to try calling your local groomer to see if they take walk-ins for nail trimming. Trimming your dog’s nails yourself is great too, but a lot of people are intimidated by the fact that it can be easy to trim too close and cause your dog’s vein in the nail to bleed. When this happens the nail tends to bleed continuously. If it’s not stopped your dog could be in serious trouble. Although this is scary, there is a simple way to stop the bleeding. Use styptic powder, cornstarch or even flour to stop the bleeding. Keep your dog of his feet for 30 minutes if possible. Call your veterinarians Savannah, GA for aid.
