that you put on to stop bleeding ie if you accidentally cut dogs claw to short??

I was just clipping the dogs claws and realised I meant to look for some in pets at home and I need to update my doggy 1st aid box but I can't for the life of me remeber what its called!

Anyone help?


(not that I ever have injuries as mine are taught to keep still when I am doing it but it be handy to have in my 1st aid box just in case)

Going to need a new 1st aid box lol its quite small.
Only got in it some spare flea and worm stuff, tick remover, tea tree cream, bandages, muzzles, a boot, contact numbers, scissors. (plus we have a human 1st aid box too lol)

I have been told that cornflour is good.

Talcum powder works just as well. Its probably a lot cheaper too but is just the same

Use a bar of soap, it plugs the claw and stops the bleeding stick the claw into the soap so some stays in the end

oh well I have plenty of talc!

What does anyone else have in their doggy 1st aid boxes?

Thank god for this thread!

Just clipped Alfie's claws for only the 2nd time and he pulled away as I did one of them and it must have pulled the claw as you could see a tiny spot of blood it didn't actually bleed as such but there was blood there (if that makes sense!). Have just dapped a tiny bit of talc on it and he was licking my hand as I was doing it as if to say "I forgive you, you stupid, clumsy woman"

As Bellaboo1 says! A bar of soap works just as well....we were advised to use non-perfumed baby soap for when we cut our macaws claws and it works wonders! We always keep a bar of baby soap for that reason and can use it for or birds, rabbits and dogs !!
