1. Locate the Kwik.

The Kwik is the area of your dog’s nail where the blood supply is located. When you accidentally trim the Kwik area, that’s when bleeding and pain for your dog comes in. To avoid causing pain and bleeding nails on your beloved pooch, learn where your dog’s quick ends, and that’s the area you would want to cut.

How can you locate the Kwik? Use a flashlight or lift up your dog’s paws near a light source. If your canine buddy has white nails, you’ll easily spot the kwik. Dogs with darker nails, however, will be harder to find the kwik. If you’re not sure where it is best to ask your dog’s vet on your next visit.

2. Make sure to use trim your dog’s nails once every few days.

Nail-trimming your dog’s nails at least once a week will enable the kwik to pull back faster. Mini trims every now and then will help pull the kwik back faster, while failing to do so will cause it grow longer as it matches the pace your dog’s nails go by.

Also, cutting your dog’s nails regularly is a safety precaution. There are times when dogs with long nails get into small accidents which causes their nails and kwiks to break. Infection can result from these and is one thing you wouldn’t wish for your dog to have.
