Yes, it will grow back. There is a product, you can buy in any pet store, called Syptic Powder. When you trim your dogs nails, and you cut the quick{That's the red part of the nail}, and it starts bleeding, take the dogs injured nail and just dip it in this powder, and it will stop the bleeding, almost immediately. You can also type{How to trim a dog's nails}, in your search bar, and it's will tell you everything you need to know about clipping a dogs nails.

depends how far up the nail it was cut. If you cut it near the very base (where it comes out of the toe) and damage the nail bed it may not grow. But if nail is still present and just cut really short it should grow back. How long will it take to grow back normally?--that depends on how short it is. Normal nails grow fast enough to be cut every 4-6 weeks.

It will grow back in a few weeks. She cut the vein in the nail called the quick. If it happens again she can use a styptic power to stop the bleeding. Only cut the end of the nail off where it curves if you can't see the quick. You can see it on dogs with white nails.

It should grow back fine. Just make sure it doesn't keep happening because it is the equivalent of a person ripping a full fingernail off. If you clip the dog's nails yourself, just be aware if the quick. it is the pink part in the nail that bleeds when cut. Painful!

Yes, the nail will grow back . It will probablu be tender for a while. I have had the vet cut my dog's nails too short and they bleed. I can't tell you how long it will take for the nail to grow baqck normally. It all depends on how fast the anils gow between trimmings.

Yes it will grow back it should take about 2 weeks 2 a month. It will still be alittle shorteer but it will get better and longer in time don't worry unless the dog starts chewing at it then you should take it to the vet.

A boy or girl would regularly be inside of more usually. Naturally a canine will lose it's sharp point of their nail by means of jogging on concrete. Staying within always equals much less time to scrape their nails.

Yes, dogs nails grow back. It is common to cut them a bit too short sometimes causing it to bleed some, although we try not to. You can put flour on it , that sometimes helps stop the bleeding. It will heal and grow back.
