Does anyone have any advice please on safely clipping black nails please? I am lucky with Bear, is nails are white/clear and it’s very easy to see the quick, and I’m even luckier that I have never had to clip his nails except for the ‘thumb’ once a year, they just seem to naturally stay VERY short, you could say they are stumps really and right down to the quick. Mooshi on the other hand her nails don’t seem to naturally wear down like Bear’s do, no matter how much street walking we do and at the moment with the dark mornings and early nights it’s a lot of street walking (up to 2hrs a day in total). Her nails are solid black, you can not see the quick at all and I am very hesitant to clip them myself, they are also naturally quite long. I usually let my groomer friend do it but would like to have the confidence to do it from home without causing her pain and worse bleeding. Last night another friend of mine did them for me at ring craft class but only took about 1mm off and I know they need more that that by how much she is clicking on our walks.
