Long Kwik
I have a black dog with black nails…?
I have a black labradoodle and her nails NEED a trim. They’re not excessively long, but enough to make me go bonkers. My dad bought some trimming supplies that will help with this, but the thing is is that I need to know where the kwik is so I don’t hurt her. If you have any pictures/diagrams that would show me approximately where it is that would be great! Also, I don’t have any Kwik Stop, so how would I go about stopping the bleeding if I do hit the kwik? Thanks!! Your answers are greatly appreciated!
You’re referring to Kwickstop styptic powder. They make the same thing for people for shaving in case you nick yourself and it won’t stop bleeding.
A dog’s nail is constructed of a hard outer cover, which protects the quick which is the inner soft part containing blood vessels and tender nerve endings. In dogs with light coloured nails, the quick can often been seen as being faintly pinkish in color and is thus easy to avoid cutting into.
In the more common black nailed variety, the quick it totally invisible. Therefore, knowing exactly how to cut a dog’s nails in this case is imperative. In these cases, trimming off little nibbles instead of large slices is more advisable.
Keep checking the clipped part of your dog’s nail and look out for a dark spot in the middle of the newly clipped area – this shows the start of the quick – do not cut too far into this. Taking just tiny nibbles, you will then start to see a pale third inner circle. Stop there – or else you are likely to hurt your dog.
Also, don’t forget your dog’s dew claws. Growing on the inside of his legs and not in contact with the floor, these do not get worn away and will sometimes curl completely over causing your dog to get snagged in undergrowth, his bedding, etc. This can be very painful, so do keep those neatly trimmed too.
Take him to a groomer or to the vet to see how it’s done if you need more information. You can also do a search on the internet or check for videos on YouTube. There’s a lot of information out there that’s easy to find.
Here’s a really good video from a vet: http://www.5min.com/Video/How-To-Cut-Your-Pets-Nails-19141066
