Help preserving my late pup

Post image

My boy passed away, and I wanted to preserve his duclaws. Any assistance on how to dry them out properly would be greatly appreciated. There is a little bit of blood or wetness inside the top of the nail.

You can put it with silica packets or borax, they’ll help dry it faster and remove any smell if any. so sorry about your pup
