Clipping Dark Nails

When clipping dark nails, hold a flashlight under the nail or stand in front of a well-lit window to make it easier to see the quick (blood vessel that runs inside of the nail). It is also a good idea to keep styptic powder on hand to stop the bleeding in case you accidentally cut the quick. Styptic powder can be purchased at some pet stores or veterinary clinics.
