How to see the blood line in a golden retriever's nail

The blood line in a golden retriever's nail can be seen clearly under light. When the nail is exposed to light, there will be a very obvious dividing line between the pink part and the transparent part. When trimming your dog's nails, be careful not to cut to the bleeding line. When trimming, tilt the nail clippers at a 45-degree angle, cut slowly in small amounts and multiple times, and pay attention to the broken ends of the nails.
