Don't forget to send Eddy some love and 'Like' the video ! ❤
Checked!❤
Eddie is a good dog. He has a lot of patience. Thank you for the video. I have anxiety about doing my dogs nails.
Same with mine. My Sadie’s hates it and fights it. Mine have all black nails.
I use the flashlight on my phone to see through the black nails to find the quick, then mark it with a sharpie and go back to clip and drimmel. It’s helped soooo much!
My sharpie is a light silver color btw
Great idea!!!!
Good idea. Tks
Thank you for the pro tip! Definitely getting myself some gold & silver sharpies!
Yep I use the flashlight too, but never thought of using a sharpie so thanx for that
Every dog should come with at least one clear nail 😅
Lol..Exactly
I have a new dog from the shelter with all white nails but when I got her she wouldn’t let anyone touch her feet or cut her nails. The shelter did it when she was anesthetized for spay surgery. She doesn’t bite, just starts licking you, rolling and playing and pulling away. I’ve been working with her touching and holding all her feet while not trying to trim the nails to get her used to my hand touching her paws. As she got comfortable I stated putting a piece of sandpaper in my hand and introducing that feel. Now we are using a nail filer that uses sandpaper and she is slowly getting used to that. I still can’t get a whole paw done at one time but I can get up to 2 nails each time. But we’ll just keep going gradually until we have it down.
Such a good idea, so patient with your dog.❤
Yes! It took me several months with this method until they were totally cool with it, but now they argue over who goes first. 😂
This is one of the better videos I've watched on black nail cutting but would like to remind you when using a rotary tool to finish if you leave it on more than 5-10 seconds it get hot on their nail. Utilizing short bursts would likely go further to avoiding burning them or causing discomfort :)
Thank you so much for your kind comment..The great thing about this Andis cordless grinder, is that it doesn't ever heat up or burn, because of the grinding stone it has,but 100%,if you are using a sand stone grinder, you can't stay on it for more than a few seconds..I so appreciate your input, and for watching us
Eddie is the bestest boy ❤️😘
I put a light up to my pups nails. You can see where the quick is. Hope it helps some people.
I've been grooming for almost 10 years and was taught to never pay attention to the color of the nail. Not only do they not actually show you where the quick is, but many many dogs have all black nails. I only use the center part to detect the outside tissue of the quick. The trick is to take very little off at a time, and this is especially true for pet owners who are not practiced and do not have a time crunch. The "dead" hard part of the nail will by dry and powdery. The center is NOT always black, it can be grey or pink as well. It will be a different color to the nail, and will also have more of a shiny or wet looking texture. If you poke it with your finger nail it will feel a little gummy. Just go slow, you don't have to do them all at once.
Edit to add: also something of note, the nails will not wear evenly and this includes the nails on the same paw. So measuring based off the other nails is asking for an incident where you cut too close. It is extremely common, especially for dogs who have crooked legs like in short legged breeds. Seriously just take a little off and look for that center part. There is NO REASON to guess how much you are clipping and clip that much off at once.
Yes...pretty much everything I'm saying in this video, and the 20+ other nail clip videos on our channel..Appreciate your input..
I wish my Lucy had one clear nail. All jet black.
The all black can be SO challenging (and scary) we have a video on that as well. BUT, if you can get comfortable with just slight tipping at first instead of clipping big chunks, you may find some confidence you didn't know you had
I can confirm, Rudy's reply to you was super helpful to me. My 7# YorkiPoo's are all jet black too. I wish I had a 'Rudy' in my household; however, I don't!!! SOooooo, I cringe and get the job done little bits at a time. So far so good. I still can't stand doing them, but I am making sure I just do the tips regularly and all has been good. It's so easy to put the task on the back burner, but you're better off to not do that (and your dog will thank you!). I am amazed how the back ones need very little trimming in comparison to the front!! 👍
I had a dog who hated having his nails trimmed so much that he trimmed his own nails down. He’d bite them down to the quick. I wish that all dogs would do this. ❤
my border collie does this, and I'm always impressed by it, also thankful lol :)
I have bad anxiety every time I just think about trimming my shih tzu’s nails. She fights me, hates her paws touched, and all of her nails are black. 😩
Can you bring her to a groomer, or a vet to have it done?
I feel you. There are many options. I struggled too. Other breed. I wish you success. I switched from clippers to grinder, but slowly. There's a lot of psychology behind which I didn't know. A lot of patience, time and right tools. I've watched like 30 videos and grabbed tips and especially me being calmed to help her be calmed. It's hard for some dogs, especially when they're not used to and/or have past traumas (if mistreated by previous owners, i.e.), have been injured and/or have medical conditions. You're not alone. Internet has much help and of course the guidance of your trusted vet/groomer.
I do our little Shih Tzu boy's black nails with a nail grinder I got him used to it by turning it on and holding it so the grinder was pointing towards me and he was able to sniff and feel the vibration and I started by doing one nail then later did some more ect... No he is okay with it he still doesn't like it but he doesn't get upset or stressed out anymore. I got mine on Amazon and it is a lw noise grinder with a cap for different size dog nails which can be very helpful!
Yeah a grinder works for back paws. My pup is jittery and he pulls away from me. More sensitive I guess.
Remember, your dog feel’s your anxiety and that’s part of the reason your dog doesn’t like its nails done by you.
Eddie was such a good patient boy
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching us. I will give Eddy a hug for you..lol
Thanks Rudy!!
Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much for your valuable knowledge. My Dogs have ONLY black nails & I have to be very very cautious not to hurt them. But even at the Vet (with my old, deceased dog) they hurt her & since then I do it myself. Others (acquaintances) were clipping their puppies claws so horrific, that they had to go to the Emergency Vet as the poor puppy bled nonstop. What idiots
Always great advice on this channel!! Eddy is a sweetheart
We love you Kiko...Thank you so much!
My last dog had black nails, so I used a book light that was small enough to get between his nails and backlit the nail to find the quick. It was so easy that way! Of course, I now adopted a dog who still won’t let me touch her feet, so I take her to the vet for trims.
Another terrific video...Such good photography. Easy to see the demo. Many thanks!

And make sure your Quick stop powder isn't old and solid. The time to find out is not when your dog's nail is gushing like a fountain. Learned this the hard way. My kitchen looked like a crime scene.
This is so true..Thank you for your input..
When do I buy yhe quick powder to stop nail bleeding?

Another great informative Rudy video. I did not know about looking at nail from the underneath side. I will definitely do that next time. Hope you are well. Thank Rudy.
Thank you so much Michele, We appreciate you always being there..I hope all is well with you too..
Eddie is absolutely adorable! What a good boy he was to get his nails done even though he was so scared. Good boy Eddie, I love the haircut you gave Eddie. It is absolutely adorable. I have an extremely shorthaired Chihuahua so there’s nothing to cut except the toenails. This haircut is absolutely adorable.

Thank you so much for this video. This is such a huge help. Thank you so much for offering this for free. I’m disabled and I’m on a fixed very limited budget. I can’t afford to pay to watch a video on Patreon. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words..I'm so happy that it helped..its our pleasure..We appreciate you..I wish you the best my friend..
I always used clipper that has a 'backplate' and allows you to set the length you want to cut off. This way you can't slip and cut off too much nail. I use a neil grinder, too.
Great video, Rudy!.. Eddie was very patient! 🙂
Thank you so much Elizabeth, means a lot coming from you..We love your channel..

Thank you..We love him so much..
Awesome video on clipping nails!!! Both my dogs have 100% dark nails.
Same!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support..We appreciate you..
Mine is a senior GSD with arthritis...In the past she took clippers ok but they lost sharpness. I didn't know that and I hurt her and traumatized her since I thought it was a behavioral issue more than medical/technical when she grunted. I'm now rehabilitating her. It's been a long way. I've self trained watching a lot of tips, do's, dont's, yours included. I got a new clipper but she can't stand the pressure (her nails are hard, black). Vet told me about grinders. I didn't know such thing existed. While I can afford a good one, I've been using one I had for manicure (Salon Shaper). I get to wear down the nail and reduce the diameter and then use the clipper to remove a way thiner piece. Her nails were already long a couple of months ago when the peak of the trauma was reached, so I gave her a rest of nail work, only massage and petting. My whole concern this entire time was to help her stand easier because the rear legs are almost passive and when leaning on the front legs, she slipped (indoor flooring, tiles) and I didn't want her to loose control over her posture like that and be potentially injured internally.
Grinders are way better for strong nails in my humble opinion, you can decide how much pressure to use, the speed, and also it's not an all or nothing approach, like clippers, you can progressively desensitize the pet.
Just my 2 cents, try to match the grinder with positive things, eg let her focus on searching treats in a sniffing mat while the grinder is on and near her, she will unconsciously associate the sound of it to an activity she likes. And when she's ready for it, try touching her nails with the grinder off while she is focused on a licking mat with something she likes on it (dog friendly peanut butter, spread..). With patience, respecting her pace, you can build a healthy routine
@@kiko7247 Thank you for your help and taking the time to share your tips. Yes, I've learned patience and RESPECT for her sensations as well as her past experiences and dog psychology is important. I didn't know doing or working on nails was an issue since I hadn't had problem with it in the past. But her body's changed and behavior changes as well. I'll definitely invest on a pet grinder since the one I've got is not as powerful but it's been a problem solver in the meantime and a good pre step since it's not as noisy or strong as a proper one. Also, in her case, having eaten and exercised previous to grooming helps, since laying down is what she feels like after those activities. I've taking it slow. Two, three nails (partially) in a session that can easily take me 2 hrs. if not more.
Thank you for posting this, its very helpful!! I have this issue with my Lhasa Apso and I am always afraid of cutting to much off and hurting him.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching us..I'm so glad it helped..We appreciate you
Thank you! My dog's claws are white but one has a longer vein. This helps me feel more confident when clipping her nails.
Thank you so much for your kind comment..I am so glad it helped. Thank you for watching us, we appreciate you..
Usually when you clip them, the "quick" or vein will then shorten. The longer the nail, the longer the vein. If the nails are long it's good to cut or file them once or twice a week until you get the vein short enough.
Another great informative video!
I use a flashlight, but my one Frenchton has a few black nails that are so dense that light doesn't penetrate. That's when I say a prayer and clip conservatively.
❤
Nice teaching voice
Thank you so much for saying that..I appreciate you
Very nice❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching us
@@GroomingByRudy thank you for good video ☺
Wow what a champ
My 1 year old Jack Russel really hates it so I put some cat food ( which she never has ) on a lick mat and do them really quickly.
Thank goodness she only has 1 black nail.
I noticed Eddie has a cone collar on is this just whilst you are clipping ? If so what a great idea
That grinder reminds me of the drill at the dentist.
Sometimes groomers have a clinic day where they do nails at a reduced price. Susan Garrett has pedicure please video where a vet shows you exactly how to cut the nail so the quick gets shorter faster too. Chirag Patel has a bucket game - 3 phases and you don't want to skip a phase. Our local feed store has a great person who only does nails. Had a dog that used to take 3 - 5 people to do his nails. Took him to Aunt Kelly and he fell asleep on her. She's like an old sheep farmer and it was like she did his nails upside down, like she was sheering a sheep. Hope that helps.
Thank you for thiis. Wish I had it when my little shih tzu was still with us. Got her at 7 wks and she passed at 15yrs. Just before my beloved Mama passed. I used to cry more than she did if i slipped with any tools. Cry and just hold her for awhile. Took her to a groomer whenever I could, but I'm disabled and don't drive anymore. I did not learn much BEFORE i got her. My little rescue Chihuahua\Greyhound mix is of course easier. No long hair. But she also trims her own nails! Regularly.😮 Is this normal? She does alot of other not so helpful things too. Like dipping in the cat litter for a snack when no one is looking🤢 Thank God thats upstairs so she doesn't get to very often. I'm on to her now anyway. Anyway thank you very much for the tips! I really want to adopt another little one for a friend for her. I'm trying to learn and do better. The best I can🙏🏼🐾🤍 That was a darling little doggy you had there btw. So good! I've pretty much always had wigglers and hiders and runners! Especially our beautiful husky years ago. RUNNER. ESCAPEE EXTRAORDINAIRE. I live with my kid and 2 of her kids so if I really need help I usually have it. Including tides and such, its just hard to coordinate everything.
👍
Thank you so much for watching us..We appreciate you
I quit clipping nails years ago. I only the dremel. Less risk of damaging the quick and the filed nail is smoother.
Totally agree. If you go slow you can see the little black spot in the middle of the white area. As soon as you see that you stop! Have never hurt my pup.❤🐾
My dog wants to do her nails by herself. She's now sharpening some. I want to trim off the sharp tips. Do you think i should do an ACV treatment first?
Ugh, those black nails are the worst! My Hermie had all black nails.😱 I usually fold the paw so I can see the nails in reverse, so it's facing up for the trim & only go as far as the top of the worn spot. What a good boy Eddie was for this demo!😊
We appreciate you..
I look on the underside of the dogs nails. Where you see a 'v' end, and the nailclaw becomes solid, is approximately where the quick is found. Clip without snagging the quick, your dog will trust you not to hurt him/her.
Clip the quick, it will be ages before your dog will trust you near its toes once more.
Just in case, have some 'quick stop' or plain flour handy, but if you're careful and attentive, you won't need it, and your dog will remain relaxed!
I have Dobes and Presa Canario, and no problems with either.
I read something about using a Dremel. Please, if you are going to do that, remember friction causes heat, and a burnt quick is more painful by far than a clipped one. Only use the dremel for a few seconds, then move on to another toe.
i use a flash light it show the vein❤️
I TRIED to trim my dog's nails - twice, I think (he was a black chow-chow mix, with dark nails), but I HURT him (he yelped), and I would/ could never try again. Had to take him in for professional trimming.
Had I been unable to take him to someone for that, I "might' have tried again. But, my guy also hated the nail grinder (yup, I bought TWO kinds of trimmers and a nail grinder), so I never used it. Hated the thought that I'd hurt him.
Thanks for this good explanation. I will likely STILL take my next dog in for professional nail-trimming - both my now-passed dog and I were left "emotionally scarred" by my ineptitude. Sigh.
Don't feel that way, clipping dogs nail can be extremely difficult, and scary..I do it everyday,and I still get scarred,and am sometimes unsuccessful..it sounds like you loved them,and cared for them, and that's all that matters..We appreciate you
@@GroomingByRudy My dog was, and remains, the absolute love of my life, and I still grieve him so, after 7+ years. I haven't been able to get another dog, as I'd want HIM back... Cheers!
You can use white pepper to stop the bleeding. Even on people with a small knife cut.
Wow! That's fascinacinating. I only have black pepper. I'll get some white. Doesn't it sting though?
@@elenalatici9568 no
If all the nails are black, just take a very small amount at a time until you know how far you can go back. Look for the vein. If you do quick them it wont be as bad. 'Quick stop" will stop the bleeding if you do hit a quick it will look like a massacre since it is a vein. If you dont have any try corn starch. You can quick them with a grinder also. On dogs that haven't had their nails kept up the quick will be longer. Nails have to be kept up and worked back in order to get the quick back where it should be. Dog groomer most of my life. Thought I might add my 2 cents. 😊
We appreciate you..
Fortunately our pit has translucent nails and you can see the quick. Our Horgi on the other hand has a couple of those black nails
My dog doesn't have black nails and I have a lot of other things to do today so I'm going to look for another video to watch.
@@maryw3989 thank you so much for watching us we appreciate you
I use my Amope and sand the nails down rather than clip them.
I use it on several family dogs & a bunny. Nails are smooth & the Amope is not loud so it doesn't scare the furs.
Eddy is a good boy ❤❤❤😇
Thank you..We love him so much..
🥰🐾
Lol..Thank you so much
I e found using an electric nail grinder the best. You can do little by little, hardly any sound. While I’m trimming the nails, my wife keeps him distracted with a doggie ice cream treat
When I hear thé nails tapping on thé floor I know its time to clip . M'y dogs a toy poodle . This method might not be good for all dog types .
I clip each claw several times gradually reducing by slithers till I sée thé black dot of thé Vien . I dont grind or file . I take woofy for a brisk walk on concrète . Does thé job .
Willie Nillie, I haven't heard that in a long time 😂😂😂
Lmao...That is so funny...
Eddie is a good boy.
Thank you so much..He is a love..
Both my Yorkies Brody & teacup Yorkie Mocha have all black nails🦋💚🐶🙏🌻*;0)
Are some dog's nails much harder than others? You made the clipping look effortless, but when I do my Irish Setter's nails, sometimes I need both hands to get through them and it upsets her.
Yes,some dogs nails are very soft,and gummy, others are very brittle, and some are very thick..You may need a larger nail clipper..We appreciate you..Thank you so much for watching us
Im lucky in all my dogs nails are clear and she has no problems at all with me clipping them thank god lol my old akita hated it so much i had to get the vet to do it while i held her lol.
Lol..I hear you..thank you so much for your comment, we appreciate you watching us..
Good info. Thanks. New subscriber. I'm scared to trim my dog's nails; she hates the grinder. Not sure how to trim in between her toe pads either. I'm getting better at trimming her body; wheaten terrier. She keeps getting BAD ear yeast infections. Vet charges $300 every time & never completely gets rid of the ear infection. 6 weeks later it's back full force. I'm afraid her ears are now permanently damaged. I don't know what to do. I'm not rich.
@@TakeTheRide I feel your pain..we have some pad,and ear cleaning videos in our playlist, that might help..I deal with a lot of chronic ear infections, and same as you said..Helps for a bit,and than back with a vengeance..I hope it somehow gets better..You might want to try a grain free diet,not sure if you already have..We appreciate you
@@GroomingByRudy thank you for your response. Someone told me to try monistat OTC for women's yeast infections; ever heard of that? How about chlorhexidine rinse? Terbinafine HCP 250 tablets? Flagyl 250mg tablets? Which one of those would be the best? My dog is on a grain-free diet. I also try to avoid chicken. Beef and venison. Thank you.
@@TakeTheRide thank you so much for your input and subscribing..We appreciate you
@@GroomingByRudy what about the options that I just listed? Is one more viable than the other? Thanks!
@@TakeTheRide I am not 100% sure of which one would be most effective..I have heard of the Monistat,Chorhexidine,and Flagyl,assuming that it is a yeast infection..I would try to use the one of them,giving it a chance to take effect, which may take a couple weeks, or more,also making sure of correct dosage, and any possible side effects..The Chlorhexidine rinse would be external, so could be used in combination..You may also want to watch some home remedy vets on You tube..Let us know if anything works..I hope it does..
Nice for dogs with "one clear nail" I have a black Shih Tzu with nails as black as coal.
Check out our how to cut black nails video..Thank you so much for watching us
I have hit my dogs veins 3 different times. 😔 it bled for ever! I held him and used a rag to hold pressure until it stopped. I bought that powder and it didn’t help at all. My dog loves me tremendously and he never yelped or complained when I cut him. He just enjoyed me holding him and loving him after being injured! He’s a weirdo, but he’s my little weirdo. I’m terrified every time I have to trim. ☹️
Get a bar of soap and scrape it on the bleeding nail. Emergency vet gave me that info and worked well.
I had the same anxiety.
He sounds adorable..
I'm a little confused on how the powder didnt work. I've had to use it at work several times and never had any issue. You do have to press the powder into the wound for a couple of seconds
Where can I purchase the dog nail grinder?
@@florencebanuchi2612 there's a link in the description..
Could you use just the grinder?
Yes you can ,it will just take a lot longer, and the dog will have to remain cooperative for a longer time..We appreciate you
How often should I groom my dogs nails?
Every 2 weeks to a month..
I started getting a panic attack trying to watch this. My dog hates this more than anything and I have let it go because I can't stand her being afraid. The vet has yelled at me for not doing it and if I try to take her in to have the tech do it they act like I'm asking them to rob a bank or something. What am I not understanding? I don't see that well and can't really hold her from squirming away. If I'm paying for the service why is it so bad? They act like I'm a terrible person.
I would just try to ignore their judgements. You are doing what is best for your dog. It's ok to have others do tasks that we aren't able to. I often feel judged at the vet as well. Just know you're doing a great job!
Where can I find the grinder for dog nails
Should be a link in the description
Can you use the grinder instead of clipping?
You can,it will take longer to do..
I would like to see you groom and clip the nails on my yorkies. My deceased wife used to groom and clip the nails on all of our dogs. I don't remember a time that she didn't make them bleed when clipping the nails. So now you don't clip without a fight
I always used a flashlight
What a well behaved dog. My husband has to almost sit on my Jack Russell Terrier while I clip her nails.
Lol..that is very often the case..We appreciate you watching, and commenting..Thank you..
I love the idea of this. Unfortunately, all of my dogs toenails are black
We have an ..how to clip black nails video as well..We appreciate you
My Belgian Malinois had black nails and they were so hard. She's was an angel anytime I groomed her. She loved the attention.
I was just trimming my GSD nails the other day wondering why the back ones were shorter than the front.
Cant get near my LGD nails, have to take him to vet and have him held down by 3 of us and 1 trimming. But each time he's improving and not stressing so much. Hopefully after time I'll be able to do it myself fingers crossed!
How can I do my dogs nails who is a very nervous and panicky dog?
Try to do just one,or two nails a day,until you get all of them ..
Is it best to clip a dogs nails after a bath when they are a bit soft like a humans would be?
That is a great question, but the answer is no because the softer the dogs nail is,the more sensitive the nail becomes..Atliest, that has been my experience..I so appreciate your question, and watching us..
When my dog is sitting on the couch with me I get rough sand paper and sand down her nails. She is soused to it now Inever have to cut her nails.
This is fine and dandy for dogs who will sit calmly.
We have 4 people holding our pug while a 5th person desperately tries to nip them and he flinches so much that I usually do horrific injuries to him.
IT is traumatizing for us all. Vet wont give me sedatives because he is short faced dog.
dog groomers hand him back and say sorry couldnt get near him.
He is a veryhappy friendly pup. But touch his paw and he becomes a devil.
This is often the case
Cornstarch will stop the bleeding.
Imagine that grinder it’s really hot on his nails. If you’ve ever had your nails done at a salon and they both them with the Dremel, sometimes it’s painful because of the heat and the friction on the nail
Only with a sandstone grinder...The grinder I'm using in this video never gets hot..Very safe..Thank you for watching
Easiest way to do it is to hold a flashlight up to the nail and you be able to see the blood vein
you’d hate my apollo 🤣 all jet black. every single one.
Lol..I love his name..
@@GroomingByRudy he’s an angel for nail trims…the pad shave on the other hand, anyone would think you’re cutting his toes off
A lot of the dogs that hates their nails done, is the fault of the breeder that doesn’t handle the pups feet and start trimming them as soon as they have growth.
My dog trouser to have his nails clipped but he doesn’t mind the dremmel.
Get a nail grinder. You go at it until it's nice and short with out worrying about veins. Less stressful
How can I ever get long nails shorter if only a tiny bit can be cut each time?
Do it often every day, or once a week..
