Have you tried having someone hold a flashlight under the toes so the light shines up through them, making it easier to see the quick?

I have a piggy with all black toes and had the same problem. The flashlight helps, but I also trim them twice as often so I can just trim the tips off and not risk it.

I always have quikstop on hand, but the one time I trimmed too low my Biscuit wheeked and I felt horrible.
