  • Dog's nails are turning black...

    I don't cut my dog's nails any more. I clipped one too short before and it turned black. I use the electric nail file for dog's and it's easier for both of us. Don't spend too much time on each nail because the friction burns. It also dulls the edges,
    so they don't scratch people.

    A nail turning black isn't a condition. It's just growing up. They may not even need cutting ever. Most active dogs don't need it.

    A couple of my dog's nails have turned black and I'm not sure why. I
    am afraid to clip his nails because I can't see where the "pink" area
    is. He is my first dog, so I haven't had any experience with this.
    Why did they turn black and how should I now clip those nails?

    Thanks, Julie Thompson
