Carnage in the kitchen

[Darren]

Sorry to hear you had to deal with that on top of everything else. Everyone does it at some point in time, I say good on everyone. I'm too much of a coward so get the vet to do it when he gets his checkups.....at least if it goes wrong he's in the right place

Poor thing. They bleed like crazy! Shelby had white nails when she was a pup but also turned black as she got older. I have on occasion cut too short. The worst part is Shelby doesn’t even care and then I don’t realize she is bleeding until my house looks like a crime scene.

I have previously cut a huge number of GSD nails (all black)

Then I get little Minnie
- the first time I cut these tiny little black nails - one bleeds - I'm so unhappy.
Next time - I am so very careful - I sweat all over
and what happens one nail bleeds

Then I bought a grinder

Me too...I bought a dremel when Piper was a pup. 6 years later it’s still working, I did have to buy a new battery for it but on one charge I have enough to do 3 dogs...I love it!

 

[Hanne]

Yes, Lisa it's also 6 years since I bought mine

it was just a cheap grinder for 23 usd I bought,
I did not know if Minnie thinks it was a hit
but it has a battery that can last for several months

Does the Dremel really stop cutting quicks though? I figured all it meant was the nail wasn't cut as low. I brought one for Tully's funky nail but it hasn't helped. Kismet on the other hand, OMG, she's such a drama queen!

Poor baby girl. I hope she is feeling better.

Caro - this is where we have my language problem
I would like to answer you - but

I have used the Dremel for nails for years and never hit the Quick.
Years ago I tried the clippers and Laddie pushed in when I pushed to clip! Needless to say, I experienced the same! Blood everywhere. I bandaged it up and put him in his crate to stay quiet!
Hope Tully is feeling better today!

I did trim too short once but it just bled like a drop...I can tell by the noise and feel when I’m close. And of course the dogs let me know when I’m close!
