🐾 Are your dog's nails due for a trim? 🐾

Many owners don't realise that long nails are more than just a cosmetic issue. When nails become too long, they can force the toes upwards with every step, placing extra pressure on the joints and affecting your dog's natural posture and movement.
Regular nail trimming helps:

✅ Support healthy joint alignment
✅ Improve comfort when walking and running
✅ Reduce strain on paws, tendons, and joints
✅ Keep your dog moving naturally and confidently

A simple nail trim can make a big difference to your dog's comfort and overall wellbeing.

🎉 Canal Festival Weekend 🎉

Throughout the Canal Festival weekend on 13th & 14th June, we'll be offering walk-in nail clips for just £10 per dog, no appointment needed.

If you're unsure whether your dog's nails are too long, pop by and we'll be happy to take a look.
