When did you last trim your puppers nails?? Some great info from Muscles & More.

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀! 🐾

Keeping your dog’s nails short isn’t just for looks – it’s crucial for their overall health and comfort. Here’s why nail care matters:

✨ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀: Long nails can mess with their foot structure, causing a snowball effect on posture, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This leads to discomfort, pain, and even injury.

💪 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴: Short nails help maintain “cat feet,” improving balance and making movement easier.

🦵 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻: Proper nail length helps distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure on joints.

🐾 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀: Short nails prevent slipping, improve stability, and keep senior dogs steady and upright.

💅 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗺 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 to reduce stress and create a simple, stress-free routine.

💖 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Train your dog to love nail trims! Use treats and positive reinforcement to make paw handling calm and easy.

At 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗻𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘, we’re passionate about empowering you to confidently care for your dog’s nails. Learning how to trim them yourself is simple and effective, and regular maintenance helps keep your dog active, healthy, and pain-free!
