If it's bloody from trying to remove it you should have a veternarian remove it for you.

I had the same problem, and my dogs nails continued to grow and grow. It was terrible. I had to take my dog to the vet to have them removed, it was terrible.

When I did my research I found a few things mentioned to help keep the nails healthy; first...when the Gelish remover is gone, don't use straight acetone to remove the polish as it is very drying and will make nails brittle. The Gelish remover has conditioners in it, so use it or another brand with conditioners. Second...many salons use a dremel to remove polish and that will remove layers of nail which will weaken them. Along the same lines...don't scrape polish off, if it's not coming off soak it some more. Third...give your nails a break on a regular basis. Take the polish off and wait a few days before putting on new. During those days with no polish use a nourishment cream on the nail. I received my kit less than 2 weeks ago, so I have no idea whether these tips will help keep my nails healthy, but this is the plan I intend to follow.

after your all done be sure to wipe your nails again with the blue cleaning liquid that comes with the kit. That will take care of the problem .

Oh no, this blade is super sharp and I would never use these trimmers on a dog's nails. You could do serious damage because they are not arched to fit a dog claw. P.S I am a nail tech and I use a dremmel file on low while holding each claw very firm to prevent vibration. Make sure the dremmel file is spinning upward/outward and start with a little off every week. I have my boyfriend hold our beagles while we do this. There is also a "pedi paw" you can get and that works ok but I prefer the dremmel tool because it is electric and spins faster but it does get hot! Use cardboard file cylinder bits found at the beauty supply or online. Oh no, this blade is super sharp and I would never use these trimmers on a dog's nails.

I think if you gave it to her at least 30-60 min. before, it would at least help. Our chihuahua hated to have us touch her nails-we switched to a Peticure file, VERY gradually, & she is totally fine now as long as we don't go too long & she knows there's a treat after. That might be even easier!

Yes, I would say it is. A few tips as I've been doing dog's nails all my life. 1) If the nails are long or you're unfamiliar with their nails, only trim the very tip. Do this every 7-10 days. 2) Bend their paws toward the rear. You can see their cuticle on the underside plus it won't pull their joint out and hurt them. Added benefit is if they try to bite, they can only reach your side. Nothing vital. Good luck!

All depends on what's causing the odor -- my Lulu lost most of her teeth in two annual vet trips, so we saw a big improvement using Tropiclean right away. I found her as a 10 y/o puppy mill mom rescue. She'd never had good vet care or decent nutrition, so her teeth suffered. Give Tropiclean a month. Change the water every day. Also try the Tropicare Mint Breath Foam. Your dog will lick it off your hand. It's slightly sweet, so dogs love it. If the smell isn't all gone, see the vet. Could be something that needs deeper attention. Good luck!

Yes you certainly can, I watched my vet cut our dogs nails first before I attemted to do it.....no problem now!

Good luck removing them. I had to wait for them to fall off or for her nails to get long enough to cut them off.

Pick an edge and pry it slowly off...it kinda hurts fingers a bit..better tight than loose..good luck.

Ours eventually came off but u could try acetone (by the nail polish remover at Walmart) & then be sure to wash their feet really good. I won't use these again, my dog hated them & I felt terrible!

Don't go all the way to the edges of your fingernails, they'll peel up faster if you do. make sure you follow the directions and make sure your nail is clean! Have fun!

Hello, I had this problem too. Don't worry! It will close eventually. The best thing to do is to get finger nail clippers (possibly a cheap or old pair, just in case they break or bend) and also get household (3 in 1) oil. Oil all of the mechanical moving parts on the knife. Then with your finger nail clippers, use the dirt scrapper to push / pull between the lock and the black metal frame. It should come undone. Mine did that for a while when it was new. Purposely do it for like 40 to 60 times, and it won't do it anymore. Hope this helps! :)

Depends on where you are talking about. If your dog has longer foot hair then I would suggest using a baby sock by cutting a small hole in the tip to get the nail through. I have a Bichon Frise so his tail has gotten caught before so I totally understand where you are coming from. My best advice in to make sure they don't stick their face down by it when you are dremmeling & when you are on the back feet make sure your tail is put up with a hair clip of some kind.

I have no luck also it cracks and ruin the foils stays on my nails for about two to three days, my next step is to try to use UV gel top coat over the foils.

Hello Colleen, Make sure you file off all the oil off on the nail bed, clean the nail bed, apply a dehydrator, apply a really thin coat of base coat, cure for 3 minutes, apply 1 coat of nail polish, cure 3 mins., apply another coat of nail polish, cure 3 mins, apply thin coat of top coat, cure 3 mins. Clean nails with alcohol, apply cuticle oil and you are all set! The trick is to take the oil off the nail bed, and to apply really thin coats, and make sure you clean up around the cuticles if you get polish on them before curing them. Also, Colleen it is really not a good idea to mix products, I would suggest using all of OPI, base, top and polish or all of IBD, for some reason when you use base/top from one company and polish from another it just doesn't seem to work, you get that peeling that you are speaking of.

I did not apply a pad to the gel....I used it to seal the wound long enough to get to the vet. It did a wonderful job and I would not hesitate to use it again, in emergency. For your pet, I don't know the extent of the wound or the reason for bleeding, but please take him/her to the vet as soon as possible. This gel is a temp fix. It is very sticky, like glue, and you may be aggravating the wound each time you redress. Please note how much blood he/she has lost and check for emergency clinic need. Better safe than sorry.
