Expert Answer

You can trim a puppy’s nails from 45 days; overlong nails can embed in the pads and hurt, so trim by growth. Locate the blood quick to avoid bleeding and use dog-specific clippers. If you cut the quick, press gauze to stop the bleed and apply antibacterial ointment to prevent infection.
