You're trimming your dog or cat's nail: you cut it too short and there is blood everywhere...

What do you do?

For many pets when they are in pain or distress, they won't even let you look at their foot. That's when a little sedation can really help.

You should consider our new Canine Calming Chews. They have all natural sedating ingredients, L-theanine, valerian, passionflower and melatonin which can allow you to properly examine your dog's foot and take the appropriate next steps (of which I'll be showing you in the newsletter)!

Our NEW Calming Chews are here, and now 15% OFF!

What happens if you're trimming the your pet's nails and ...gasp you've cut one too short.

There's blood dripping everywhere.

Your dog starts to run around the house, his heart rate rises, and there is SO much blood.

Step 1: Just don't panic.

Take a deep breath. It may look bad, but nails bleed a lot and it's relatively a small amount of blood - it just looks far worse than it is.

Step 2: Cover it and apply pressure.

Use a piece of piece of cloth, if you have a gauze even better. Apply it on top of the nail that's bleeding. You're gonna be applying firm pressure. The main principle of stopping bleeding is applying pressure so hold that gauze over top of the nail. If the bleeding seeps through the gauze, then apply another gauze/cloth on top.

Step3: Topical remedies to stop the bleeding.

Flour or cornstarch. I prefer cornstarch - pour it into a bowl/container, putting your dog's foot right into. Apply firm pressure forcing the nail into the corn starch and hold it for at least 1 minute.

Vaseline. Vaseline makes a thick impermeable layer and it may be enough to actually stop the bleeding. Put on 1/2 inch with your finger, holding it on top of that nail that's bleeding.

Black tea. Using a black tea bag so tea itself is antibacterial and it's an astringent which mean may mean it will actually help constrict the blood vessels and slow down and help stop some of that bleeding. Plus physically you're going to use that tea bag as a compress allowing you to put some pressure on top of the bleeding nail.

ICE! I recently had a shaving cut which would NOT stop bleeding. I tried EVERYTHING, and the answer was an Ice Cube. It constricts the blood vessels, and rapidly stopped my bleeding :-)

If you EVER cut your dog or cat's nails to short, follow some of my suggested steps, and you can safely and effectively help your pet at home.

Heal Your Pet At Home!

Best Wishes,

P.S. Remember that nails do bleed a lot, but it ALWAYS looks worse than it is. This is something you can deal with at home. And IF your dog won't even let you touch their foot, try some natural sedation

Our New Canine Calming Chews have all-natural ingredients, including l-theanine, chamomile and passion flower, ginger root, valerian root and melatonin. Together, these ingredients work synergistically, each contributing their unique properties to create a holistic calming effect.
