Dog Nail Care

Amost all dogs need their nails trimmed. In the wild, canines wear the nails off running over rocky and rough terrain or digging.  The nails stay short and blunt.  However, domesticated dogs rarely get the chance for such fun.  Their nails grow long and sharp.

For your safety as well as your dog's health, it is important to trim the nails frequently.  If they are left to grow long, they cause discomfort, deform the foot, and can actually cripple your pet.

One indication that your pet’s nails need a trim is when they begin to curve. And if you hear a clicking or tapping sound as your pet walks across a bare floor it’s definitely time for a nail trimming. But it is best not to wait that long - once or twice a month is usually a good rule of thumb for nail trimming.
