How to trim the nails of an Alaskan Malamute

How to cut the nails of an Alaskan Malamute:
1. Before cutting the nails of an Alaskan Malamute, you should prepare a special pet toenail clipper, some gauze, Povidone iodine and styptic powder are available for emergencies.
2. Let the Alaskan Malamute maintain a comfortable position, then hold the dog's paw with one hand and the toenail clipper with the other hand, and then start trimming the nails.
3. Then you need to determine the blood line of the Alaskan Malamute. The blood line is usually the color boundary. The common areas near the toes are pink and the areas far away are gray and white. The gray and white area is the area that can be cut.
4. The owner should cut the nails as quickly as possible. If the position of the blood line is not well grasped, you can modify it little by little, so that you can avoid cutting the dog's skin.
5. If you cut the blood line and it bleeds, don’t be nervous. Use toilet paper or cotton balls to press it to stop the bleeding. Then use iodophor for disinfection. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, you can apply some hemostatic powder.
