My dog has redness at his nail bed. Should I be worried?

I noticed after using the PediPaw on my boston terrier that he had this redness almost looked like blood at the base of his nails but no bleeding. I noticed this when I pushed the hair back on his nails. Does anyone know what this could be?My dog has redness at his nail bed. Should I be worried?
This is nothing to worry about. I believe what you are seeing is the quick.My dog has redness at his nail bed. Should I be worried?
oh this is absolutely nothing to worry about. this is blood and its good you see it because all you have to do is make sure you don't cut the nails beyond that point because that will begin the bleeding. all dogs have it but because of the hair you sometimes don't notice
If it looked the same after the PediPaw as before, it's fine. If your dog has white claws, it's perfectly normal to see some of what's called the quick in a dog's nail. That's the part that has blood vessels in it, that you don't want to cut into when trimming. It usually appears pink. Where the skin begins to cover the nail, under the hair, it's sometimes pink there too if there's white fur on the toe. Check again in a couple of days to see if it looks the same in case the nail trimming caused a little irritation, though it shouldn't.
its okay.


but next time don't trim so far.


you just trimmed the nail to much


also you can go get cut stop or bleeding stop stuff at your pet store. idk whats it called, but ask an employee where the bleeding stop for nails is.
