How Can You  To Stop Dog Nail Bleeding? It happens to all of us. A nail bleeding on your dog is something that you will probably encounter at least once in your life. How to stop dog nail bleeding is therefore a mandatory thing to know. Below we are going to explain all the things you need to know and also present you with the best ways on how to stop the bleeding. It is simpler and far less severe than you may believe at this point. 

How To Stop Dog Nail Bleeding Using Simple Remedies

Why is a nail on your pet bleeding?

Most of you believe that the nail of your pet is hard tissue and that’s all. In reality, it is made from tissue that becomes hard and it, therefore, has blood vessels and a nerve. Each nail has these. How to stop dog nail bleeding? This is an obvious question but the first one is why nail bleeding occurs? 

The most common reason is when you cut his nails and you also cut the blood vessels. As you can see the nail will start bleeding. You need to cut his nail in an area where it becomes narrowed and where it starts curling down. Some dogs have white nails so you can see the nerve and blood vessels inside. Others have dark nails so seeing this is difficult. Not all dogs have the same shape and the same position of the blood vessels and nerve hence a mistake is possible. 

Keep in mind that your dog may injure or hurt the nail as well. This can happen when playing, during a fight, or for countless other reasons. One way or another, a nail will start bleeding and you will have to stop the bleeding. Below are a few things you have to do and that are very effective. 

Stay calm and use styptic powder first

Using a styptic powder is the best way and the fastest solution. It is one of those remedies that are just ideal for this purpose. You can find it in any pet store or you can order it online. It is safe and there are no risks of any kind. You can use it countless times and honestly, this is something every single dog owner needs to keep in his home. To use it, you will have to follow these steps.

  1. You need to apply the styptic powder to the affected area. There are two options here you can do. The first thing you can do is to put a small amount of powder on your finger and then press the affected area. You can also pour the powder on the lid and place the paw with the affected nail inside the lid. This is the same thing but can be more effective and faster. However, some dogs will refuse this, hence the first option may be easier.
  2. Apply the pressure now and keep it pressured for a few seconds. This is a normal and ordinary thing as you would do to yourself when bleeding. If the bleeding is massive you will need more powder. 
  3. When bleeding stops, remove the pressure, and you are done. You have stopped bleeding successfully and you can give a treat to your pet. 

Home remedies you can use as well

If you don’t have styptic powder at home or you are far away from your home, there are simple remedies you can use as well. All of these work well and they are safe which is mandatory.  

  • Cornstarch- Yes, you can use cornstarch or you can even mix it with baking soda and dip the nail of your dog into the mixture. Keep the pressure for 2 minutes and you are done. In most cases, bleeding will start within a few seconds.
  • Bar of soap- You can use bar soap as well, which is ideal if you don’t have anything else close to you. Make it mushy first and apply it to the affected area. Keep it pressed for 3-5 minutes and remove it. 
  • Ice- Use ice cubes if possible. These will decrease the temperature of the blood vessels and they will contract them. Hence, bleeding will stop. You will have to place ice in a towel or piece of cloth and place it on the affected area. 

It is important to add that all of these remedies are safe and they work well. There is no risk of any kind and your dog will be in discomfort for a few seconds only. Dogs are brave so this will not be a problem for them. 

What should you do next?

There is no need to take a dog to a vet. This is mandatory only in extreme conditions where the paw or multiple nails and the paw are injured. After a few minutes after the bleeding has stopped, you can continue trimming his nails or you can just sit on your bed and hold his paw. Massage it gently and make your dog comfortable. If you are still trimming his nails, give your pet more treats than usual. This is just to calm him down and relax him more.

Limit the physical activity for the next couple of hours. This is mandatory. Running can cause bleeding again and you will have to repeat the entire process which is not appealing. Wait until the injury is cured and you two can get back to the ordinary lifestyle. 

Your pet will probably feel much better within minutes but keep him in place just to be sure. The nail needs to heal down properly in order to avoid any risks or bleeding.

The final word 

Now you know how to stop dog nail bleeding regardless of why it happened. Keep in mind that you can start with the styptic powder and use it as the primary option. But, you can also use the remedies we have mentioned earlier. All of these will work and all of these are equally effective. There is no need to worry about it and you can stay calm and help your pet go through this.
