We trim Sadie and Cincy's nails ourselves. we start when they were babies, so they hardly fight it. Sadie has one white nail, but all the rest of hers and all of CIncy's are black, which makes it hard to see the quick. If you only take a little off though and do it frequestnyl, it should be a problem.

Flour or cornstarch can be used in place of quick stop.
