One of the areas of dog ownership is grooming and nail maintenance.  Special care must be taken when trimming a dog's nails due to the dog's "quick". A soft area beneath the hard nail that can bleed freely if accidentally cut.

The claws of a dog are designed to help the dog maintain control when running and digging. As with any animal, their nails will continue to grow as they get older and will need to be maintained. In the wild, their nails will naturally be worn as they travel the land and dig their way into areas in search for food or shelter. Of course your precious baby has no need to dig their way into a bag of kibble and thus their nails are not a necessary function of their lifestyle. If you do walk them regularly, their nails will naturally wear on hard surfaces such as sidewalks and pavement.

If they are more likely to be on softer surfaces, their nails will grow and eventually cause issues if not properly maintained. As mentioned above, the quick is a soft area inside the nail that consists of blood vessels and nerve endings. If severed, this could be very painful for the animal and be quite messy. In lighter colored nails, the quick can be seen as a different tint and therefore a bit easier to identify and avoid. However, if your dog has dark colored nails, there is no way to tell how close you are when trimming their nails.

Many dog owners avoid trimming their dog's nails altogether for fear of causing a painful experience for their pet as well as themselves. As part of the dog grooming regimen or vet visit, they can take care of this for you. In most cases it is included in the service. However, if your dog does not need to be groomed or visits the vet regularly but their claws become too long a special visit may need to be arranged.

Another option available to the dog lover is a device that actually grinds the pet nail in a much more controlled fashion than the typical cutting concept. This battery powered tool that has a small cylindrical drum sander protruding from it that spins at high speeds. As you hold the paw in one hand, you can maneuver the edge of the sander to each nail to grind down the nail and remove the sharp edges. It requires little effort, but takes care of business very easily and quickly.

There is a humming sound similar to the dentist drill, but the dog will quickly get used to the noise once they know it is not causing them any pain. Of course, each dog is different and it may take them a few times before they feel comfortable with you working on their little paws.

In summary, the dog quick is a very sensitive area that can be very painful if severed. A better solution is to grind the nail edges in a more controlled process to ensure safety and efficiency.

Millions of people who own dogs know the benefits of having a happy dog as part of the family. Whether they are working dogs, or the family pet who snoozes by the fire on snowy days, they are welcome additions to the family.
