Also it's important to change nail cutters frequently because a dull blade hurts more than a sharp blade. Even though I had been taking Joey to another groomer to cut the nails, apparently, she wasn't getting them short enough and the quick had grown too long. Joey's breeder had to cut back the quick on many nails, and she did it a little at a time. Even though it did bleed he didn't wince of make any noise, so I'm sure that it didn't cause any discomfort, because he's a real baby. When I cut one too short, and it bled, he did scream, so that's why I won't do anymore.
