She should clot rapidly. I would just dab a little alcohol on it, after it stops bleeding and she will take care of the rest. Watch for limping and stress from it. There shouldnt be any lasting harm. We have all done it once ourselve. If youare still worried tomorrow, take her to the vet, but I am sure she will be fine and so will you. Just watch it for inection the next few days. Good Luck.

A little cornflour/cornstarch on it will encourage the bleeding to stop. If your dog's claws often get bleeders when clipped, your vet should be able to supply a styptic pencil that can be dabbed on the claw to stop the bleeding, that you can keep in your canine first aid kit.
Avoid hydrogen peroxide in wound care for either people or animals. It used to be used a lot for this sort of thing but has fallen out of favour in recent years, since the oxidisation effect kills healthy tissue.

You can buy Syptic Powder in pet stores, that work really well at stopping bleeding in situations like this. I think one is called Quick Stop!

there are powders at the pet store you can buy to place on the toenail when you clip it too far. they work really well to stop the bleeding.
