Trimming a dogs nails can prove to be difficult under the best of circumstances but trimming a black dogs nails can add to this difficulty. A black dogs nails hide the quick a lot more than light colored nails and many black dogs have black nails. Despite this there are ways you can safely trim your dog’s nails without cutting the quick. Here are some suggestions on how to trim a black dog’s nails.

You will need to prepare a few items before you start trimming. Use a good pair of dog nail trimmers and enlist the aid of a flashlight. Although black nails do not show the quick very well with the aid of a flashlight you can see where the quick runs down through the nails and where they end. This will be extremely helpful during the trimming to avoid cutting the quick. You may also have some quick stop handy to stop any blood flow just in case of cutting the quick.

Perhaps the first thing you can do is engage the help of a friend or family. This will allow that person to hold your dog giving you the freedom of using both hands. Place yourself in front of your dog while the other person holds him. It is important that your dog is positioned in such a way that you have total control over his movements especially the paws.

Take one of your dog’s paws and hold it gently but firmly. Do not give your dog the opportunity to jerk his paw away once you start the trimming. This alone can lead to you cutting the quick unintentionally. Before you start clipping take your flashlight and shine it very closely to the nail. This should allow you to see where the quick ends and give you a good idea of where to cut. This will also allow you to inspect the nails for other damages such as cracked or torn nails.

Place your clipper on your dog’s nail at a forty five degree angle. Try to make a clear sharp cut through the nail. Always cut the nail at an angle from the underside to the top. The cut should be at the front of the nail on top. You can do this in small sections if you want and work your way back toward the quick. Repeat this on all your dogs nails.

Trimming your dog’s nails may be stressful on your dog if you are cutting them all at once. Sometimes it is better to do it at different times until all the nails are trimmed. By using these tips to trim a black dog’s nails should make it easier on you as well as your dog.

I purchased a TRIA Hair Removal System a few months ago and just finished my third and fourth course of treatments. I am excited to see that my body hair is becoming lighter and finer, especially on my bikini line and underarms. I am looking forward to eventual freedom from the hassle and expense of shaving and waxing.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the TRIA system, visit

www.TRIAbeauty.com for more information. In this article, rather than going into the details of how TRIA works, I would like to share some tips and tricks for current or prospective TRIA users that I have discovered from my own use.

#1. Always charge the TRIA laser after every use.

One of the only drawbacks of the TRIA system is that the laser doesn’t hold its charge for that long. When working on a large area, such as your legs, you may have to stop in the middle to charge the laser. However, because treating large areas can become tedious, this is often a welcome break. To help ensure that your laser doesn’t power off while treating smaller areas, make sure to charge it after each use so that it is ready to go the next time around.

#2. Prepare the area well.

Part of the TRIA laser hair removal process includes shaving the area before treatment. I have found that the more carefully I shave, the less discomfort I experience during treatment. Take the time to get a close and complete shave and dry the area well before applying the laser and you should experience minimal discomfort.

#3. Experiment with the different energy levels.

If you are experiencing any discomfort, don’t be afraid to select a lower energy level. While I was surprised to find that the pain involved was much less significant than I expected, I have found that certain areas (such as the bikini line) are more sensitive than others. I may be able to use the highest energy level on my legs or arms, but will go back to level one or two when treating my bikini line or underarms. The benefit of using the highest level is that it is most effective, but I would rather have to perform more treatments at a lower energy level than experience increased discomfort. Remember that some users experience no negative sensation at all and that any discomfort will decrease in future treatments along with the amount of hair.

#4. Track your treatments.

TRIA couldn’t make this step easier for you. Included with your laser will be a handy, purse-sized calendar with stickers so that you can keep track of your treatments. It may seem unnecessary
