When cutting your dog's nails, it won't hurt as long as you don't cut the dog's blood line. Dog nails are divided into two parts. The front end is the cuticle, and the part near the sole contains nerves and blood vessels. There is an obvious dividing line between them, which is the blood line of the nail. When trimming your dog's nails, you only need to cut off the cuticle at the front. When you cut to the blood line, your dog will feel pain and may bleed.

How to cut the dog's nails to avoid cutting the blood line

1. The owner should not cut the dog's nails along the blood line, but hold the nail clipper firmly. During the process of cutting the nails, the scissors will exert a squeezing force on the nails. When the pressure hits the blood line, it will also cause pain to the dog. It is best to cut 3 mm before the blood line.

2. If you are not sure about the location of the blood line, you can trim it little by little and slowly modify it until a white core appears in the nail, which means the blood line is about to be cut.

3. If the nails are not too long, the owner can also use a nail polisher to polish the nails little by little, which can also avoid cutting the bloody line.
