Miracle Care Kwik Stop Styptic Powder

The insurance for every nail session: open it before you pick up the clippers, not after. If a nail is cut into the quick it bleeds more than seems reasonable, and a pinch of this powder pressed on with a damp cotton bud and held for a few seconds usually stops it. The label lists benzocaine to take the sting out. Keep the pet from licking the powder off afterwards, use it only on nails and minor surface nicks, and see a vet for anything deeper or for bleeding that will not stop. A small jar goes a long way in a home kit.
