So I guess I will be shopping for new ones. What brand or type do you all find the easiest to use? I sometimes hit the quik of the nail and they start to bleed, what do you use to stop the bleeding? Thanks for any advice. Lynn   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

You can find it at any pet supply retailer. Just fill a bowl and dip your dog's paw in it. Hope this help's.   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

Then I feel so guilty for having made them bleed...good thing that they forgive me later.   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

I have no idea how much they are or which stores carry them but seems like a pretty good idea. You can probably google them.   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

Looks like they're around 29.99 US   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

I guess the heat from the filing will cauterize the blood if you hit the quick. We tried to use it on our dog but she doesn't like the vibrating so we bring her somewhere to get them done the old fashioned way because with her dark nails I'm scared of hitting the quick.   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

My groomer advised me to practice everyday pretending to cut the nails. Its been 3 weeks and it has helped a lot! It is now to cut Juno's nails and she was much better. I thought this tip might help you.   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.
