Cornstarch. Put the bleeding nail into a little dish of cornstarch as this will assist in the blood clotting. You can pay for the "professional" version of this, but it does the same thing and costs way more.

You wrote this question 37 minutes ago. If she is still bleeding it is a big deal. Apply a snuggly taped gauze and check it in 15 minutes or sit with her and apply pressure directly with a gauze for 5 min. If after trying either of these measures and it is still bleeding take her back were she was groomed. They should have a substance (can't remember the name) that you can apply and it will stop bleeding instantly. I cut my own dogs nails and have been doing it for years with a dog clipper and have never had one bleed like that. There is no reason to cut them that short. Plus you can always leave them a little long and file them also. The main purpose is to keep them from scratching and also prevent indoor dogs nails from getting so long they start causing the toes to become deformed.

Corn starch, flour, quick stop....................................
That happens quite frequently. On some dogs it is hard to see where the quick is and sometimes it just happens, Groomers have a powder to stop the bleeding when the nail is cut but it doesn't last cause it is washed off during a bath.
This is not serious and should clear up shortly. Have her toe nails checked once a month. The longer the nail grows the more the quick moves out on the nail.
A dog with good conformation wears down their nails and cutting the nail is not necessary. It is very important that the nails don't grow too long cause it will cause your dog to walk on the big pad of his foot instead of his toes. This can cause problems in the future like, throwing his alignment out of wack.

you can try putting something like flour or baking soda directly on his foot to try to stop the bleeding. If this alone doesn't work you can try doing that and wrapping it up with some gauze/bandages and medical tape. Try to keep him as calm and as still as possible. Moving around is only going to make it bleed more. Depending on how bad it is, his nail may or may not grow back. But if it continues to bleed and will not stop you cannot just leave it be. Call the vet, if it's an emergency most vets will work with you on payments to get the dog healthy. Good luck!

Well get a tissue or napkin and hold it on there for a long time. But if it continues to bleed, you will need to take her for a quick ride to the vet and it shouldn't cost you anymore than $30, because they will use a nitro something stick that will 'burn' the end of the toenail and the vessel causing it not to bleed anymore. We use them at the our vet's office all the time and it is a simple, quick, and inexpensive solution. Just go in and tell them your story and they should take you back and get something that looks like a really long, one-ended que-tip.

You can also light a match, blow it out and touch it to the affected nail. It hurts, but is quite effective. Failing that, purchase a styptic pencil from the drugstore and touch it to the nail. Dog's nails, when the bleeding is not stopped, will just keep bleeding and it's detrimental to the dog's health.

Styptic powder. You can probably even find this at Walmart. It may sting a little, though, but it is made specifically for small bleeding cuts, and I used this at the vet with alot of problem nails.

You can get styptic powder to stop the bleeding. (http://www.furlongspetsupply.com/kwik_stop.htm) You just sprinkle some of this powder on the bleeding nail. If you don't have powder, you can use corn powder or corn starch. Also just try putting a towel or a little pressure on the nail to help it along. It will eventually stop.

First call the groomer and complain. A professional should have never done this and should have tended to the injury if they did.
Second, get styptic powder from the pet store. It’s about 5 bucks and can be used on any external wounds, so it’s good to have around for miscellaneous cuts and scrapes.

I trim my dogs nails all the time. When I was first learning, I goofed a bit too.
Go to the drugstore and get a styptic pencil. That will stop the bleeding.
And please call your groomer and let her know what happened to your puppy. They need to be more careful.
