When our Blooddhound was a puppy and inside her nails got really long. They were so long you could hear them pick on the carpet when she walked. We had them cut them when we were at the vet for a regular checkup and in no time she was good to go. I don't really know where the vein was in relation to the end of the nail though. I never really knew that the vein grew with the nail until this thread. So yeah I would prob take the pup in and let them handle it.

It was said to cut them a little bit at a time and the vein will I guess recede back into the nail or what not. How does that work? Does it only stay so close to the end of the nail? Does anyone know?
