How to Treat a Dog's Bleeding Nails
But if you make him bleed, which I still do today all the time; accidentally never on purpose but it’s not a bad thing and there is blood stopper that you can buy at the stores. If you don’t have any kitchen flour and some dogs bleed a lot, some of your schnauzers and different breeds, so what you do is you dip your finger in the flour or preferably the blood stopper and you push it in and hold it for 60 seconds and while you are doing that that little vein will recede. You ant to do this quick, real quick, because it crushes their nail and hurt them if you do it slow like cracking a nut, you know, so you slant it and if they give trouble, you might have gotten some faulty nail clippers. Every now and then that will happen; you should do real quick, just like this.
