- Position the grinder under the nail.

‘quick’.
-If bleeding occurs, use styptic powder or cornstarch to stop the
bleeding.
NAIL ANATOMY:
- Before you begin trimming your pet’s nails, you will need to
identify the ‘quick’ of the nail. The diagram (FIG.1) will help you
identify the basic nail anatomy. The outer nail is hard and has no
nerve endings and protects the inner soft part of the nail, known
as the ‘quick’. The quick has nerve endings, tiny blood vessels and
is very sensitive should you accidently cut or grind into it.
With lighter colored nails, the quick can usually be seen which will
make it easier to avoid while grinding. Dark colored nails may not
allow you to see where the quick is. While grinding, keep checking
the nail and watch for a dark spot in the middle of the grinding
area. This spot will indicate the start of the quick and that you
should not grind any further.
Please also reference the diagram for the appropriate angle for
trimming the nail.
WHAT TO DO IF ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE
QUICK:
If by chance you happen to hit the quick of a nail and the
nail starts to bleed, don’t allow your dog to wrench away
from you and run around. Hold him firm and reassure him
that you know it hurts, your pet trusts you. You also need
