To make your dog's quick recede, start by trimming the nails regularly. Use a pair of sharp nail clippers and only clip the very tip of the nail to avoid cutting the quick. Over time, with consistent trimming every few weeks, the quick will naturally start to recede. Regular walks on hard surfaces can also help file the nails down naturally. If you're unsure about how to start or nervous about clipping too close to the quick, consider seeking advice from a professional groomer or your veterinarian.
