I have a ten-year-old rough collie. I just trimmed the hair off her feet after being lazy and saw that her nails were longer than I thought! I do small trims every couple weeks but am going to bump up to once or twice a week to get the quicks to recede. Some of her nails are black, some white and some striped black and white. Her nails are very thick and I can't see where the quicks are on her white nails. I can tell when I'm getting close to the quick with black nails, thanks to many sites that demonstrate that. Just not the white.
I noticed a little pink circle on the end of a white claw the day after I trimmed it. Did I get close to nicking the quick? She didn't bleed when I trimmed her nails.
