If you've cut your dog's nail too short and it's bleeding, styptic powder or cornstarch can be applied directly to the nail to stop the bleeding. Gently press the powder onto the nail tip for a few seconds to ensure it adheres properly. If you don't have styptic powder, cornstarch serves as a good alternative. Remember to stay calm and comfort your dog during this process, as they may be feeling stressed or in pain.
