Did you know that your pets need regular nail care as well? Cutting your dog’s nails regularly is very important for their health, comfort, and overall well-being. Here’s why:
⸻
🐾 1. Prevents Pain and Discomfort
• Overgrown nails can press into the paw pads or twist the toes, causing pain when walking or standing.
• Long nails make it difficult for dogs to walk normally, which can lead to joint strain or changes in posture over time.
⸻
🦴 2. Avoids Injury
• Long nails are more likely to split, crack, or tear, which can be very painful and may lead to bleeding or infection.
• Dogs with long nails might snag them on carpets, furniture, or rough surfaces.
⸻
🧍♀️ 3. Improves Movement and Posture
• Dogs use their nails for grip and balance. Overgrown nails can change how they place their paws, causing uneven weight distribution and even orthopedic problems in the long term.
⸻
🏠 4. Protects People and Furniture
• Long nails can scratch floors, furniture, and skin (especially when your dog jumps up in excitement).
⸻
💉 5. Prevents Health Problems
• Untrimmed nails can curl under and grow into the paw pads, leading to painful infections or abscesses.
• Keeping nails short also makes it easier to spot issues like nail bed infections, tumors, or foreign objects.
⸻
🧩 Bonus Tip
If you can hear your dog’s nails clicking on the floor, they’re too long! Most dogs need trimming every 3–6 weeks, though it depends on their activity level and surface they walk on (hard surfaces naturally wear nails down).
