If your dog bleeds after cutting its nails, it is best to clean the wound first. Usually the wound is relatively small, so we can just soak it in warm water. However, if the dog usually bathes frequently and is relatively clean, we can also wipe it with tissue paper.

Disinfect

We also need to use alcohol or iodine to disinfect the dog’s wounds. We must remember to use medical alcohol and don’t use the wrong one. We can apply alcohol or iodine on the wound with a cotton swab to ensure that it will not be infected by bacteria and achieve the purpose of sterilization and disinfection.

Bandage the wound

After that, we can wrap the wound with gauze. Of course, we should not wrap it too much, as long as it can stop the bleeding. And just make sure that the gauze will not fall off by itself when the dog is exercising.

A band-aid can be used for minor bleeding

If we are cutting the dog's nails, if the wound is not serious and does not bleed a lot, we can directly use a band-aid to wrap it, but this treatment may not be very strong and the band-aid will fall off easily. But for minor wounds, it's enough to use a medicated band-aid.

If there is only a little bit of blood, we can use a tissue to press it and absorb the blood to stop the bleeding. If it cannot be stopped, we will use the previous method.

Pet hospital treatment

For dog owners, many people don’t know how to deal with this problem. If we are really distressed and don’t know what to do? Then we press the wound tightly with cloth and send it to the pet hospital as soon as possible and let the doctor deal with it. It is also more reassuring. To put it bluntly, it is because of the factors in our hearts. We all feel very sorry for the dog. It is not a big problem, but we are also worried about this and that. At this time, it is not bad to go to the pet hospital to buy a reassuring one.
