Can anyone help?

I am glad to hear miss Lacey is on the mend . Heres hoping the bleeding has stopped for good now.

Aw, glad to hear she's getting better!




Note: I gave up clippers many moons ago. I now use a Dremel:

Most, if not all, vets use Dremels as you rarely "quick" a dog with these and you can get a dog's nail almost twice as short as you'd normally get with clippers.

Thanks guys, Lacey is doing well. I'm still kind of scared of those dremels, maybe because I never used or even saw one other than in pictures. I'm checking them out though. I rarely cut too short, and Layla and Jake are easier to deal with than Lacey.

I'm sorry I just saw this, Annette. I can just imagine how stressful this situation one. Poor Lacey, I would probably have panicked. Glad everything is okay now.

aaaaw glad the baby is better.
I get close to Trey the big labs toes and he starts to bleed, emotionally! you touch his paw when he knows its time to cut and he screams, just when you get close to him. haha. Kaysha just gives me the look and i feel terrible for her. hers are all black and one white one. I just look at the white one and guess where the quick is on the other black ones, haha. Terrible way of guessing i know.
We bought dremel or something close, electric nail file thing and the dogs freak when they see the case. It vibrates them to the bone. If you do decide to get it, if you push the nail out far and hold it at the base seems to do the trick. Or my dogs are huge babys and cry over everything haha!
Well, glad to know again that everything is better. Sorry didnt read sooner!

I have heard some of the ladies on here mention that they dremel their dogs nails, and I wondered what it was. I was also wondering if the Peticure thing that I see advertised on TV was a dremel. I would think that it would still be tough to use on dogs that don't like their feet touched. How much noise do they make?

So Annette, What do you think about trying on of these? Lacey can be the official Pet Talk spokesdog for this product.

I tried a dremel - well, almost tried a dremel - on my dogs. They hated the noise so bad that I couldn't get any of them to sit still long enough to do anything. Also I bought one of those nail clippers that have the light so you know where the quick is - but I bought it at the flea market - silly me thought there was only one brand - and it isn't sharp enough to cut anything! There is a new cryptic out - it is a liquid that you squeeze out and spread on, it has worked better for me than anything else. I have had dogs bleed more than I would like and the only thing to do is get them to hold still (by laying down or something - I know no dog is going to just stand there). The amount of bleeding seems to have something to do with how much shorter you cut it. If you just nick it, the bleeding stops much quicker than if you get it good.

Most of my dogs have the pink toenails except Jack and Taggert. Taggert tries to run away when you even look like you are going for the cutters and Jack screams like a baby if you try to hold him down and do it. I have found that it is easier to cut his during bath time - he already has to hold pretty still and he lets me do things in there (like trim around his feet and legs) than he does when I am using the clippers.

You should take a peak at the site I posted on the first page. It has saved not only my worries with my little one but with him as well. He doesnt mind the sound doesnt even phase it and doesnt wiggle all around. Also I am thrilled to hear that Lacey is doing much much better
