My dogs nails look to have some blood on the inside of the nail. Is this normal or is it infected?

This is pretty normal. It looks like the one is a bit bruised but it is OK, not infected. We don't notice it much on other dogs that have black nails; it stands out more in dogs with white nails. Nothing to worry about! Good question!
