How to cut your Teddy dog's nails

First of all, you need to prepare the tools for trimming your Teddy dog's nails, such as pet-specific nail clippers, nail files, etc. Before trimming the nails, you need to find the bloodline of your dog. Then, using the nail clippers, cut the dog's curved nails at an angle. If you cannot find the dog's bloodline, it is recommended to trim the nails in small amounts, and the action should be quick and accurate.

When trimming your Teddy dog's nails, you should use pet-specific nail clippers and not human nail clippers or scissors, etc. to avoid damaging your dog's nails.

Before trimming your Teddy dog's nails, you need to find the dog's bloodline. A dog's nails are usually divided into two sections: one is a pink area, and the other is a gray-white area. The junction of the pink and gray-white areas is the dog's bloodline. In some cases, the dog's nail color may be dark, making it difficult to find the bloodline. In this case, it is recommended to shine a flashlight on the dog's nails to easily find the dog's line-like bloodline.

After finding the dog's bloodline, you can make your Teddy dog stand up and lift one of its feet. Use a pet-specific nail clipper to trim the excess nails from the dog's foot, avoiding a horizontal cut. Be sure to trim quickly and accurately to minimize the dog's discomfort. After trimming, you can use a nail file to smooth the sharp and rough parts of the nails, reducing the pain when the dog scratches itself.

If the dog's nails bleed accidentally during trimming, there is no need to worry, as the blood supply to the nails is relatively small. It is recommended to apply pressure to the bleeding nail with a cotton ball or gauze for 1-2 minutes to stop the bleeding. If necessary, you can use styptic powder.
