A Step-by-Step Guideline How To Cut Dog Nails
Gather the necessary tools
For safe and effective dog nail trimming, gather appropriate nail clippers, styptic powde and a comfortable surface.
Get your dog comfortable
Create a calm, well-lit space to work with your dog. Comfort them with gentle petting, praise, and treats for positive reinforcement.
Get Familiar with anatomy
Identify the quick, the pink area inside your dog's nail with blood vessels and nerves, to avoid pain and bleeding during trimming.
Start trimming
Hold your dog's paw securely, trim small sections of the nail at a time, avoiding the quick. Check the length gradually for precision.

Take breaks if needed. Apply styptic powder to stop bleeding from accidental cuts. Offer reassurance and treats for a positive experience.
