🐾 Why Keeping Your Dog’s Nails Short is SO Important! 🐾
Why do short nails matter? ✂️💅🏼
👉 Better posture & movement – Long nails force your dog to walk differently which can lead to joint pain and arthritis over time.
👉 No slipping & sliding – Overgrown nails make it harder for dogs to grip the floor properly, which can cause slips and injuries.
👉 Prevents painful breaks – When nails get too long, they can snag and split, leading to painful infections (ouch!).
How short should they be?
🐶 Your dog’s nails should not touch the ground when they’re standing. If you hear a “click-click” when they walk on hard floors, it’s time for a trim!
What’s the deal with the quick?
Inside every nail is something called the quick—it’s a blood vessel and nerve, so if it gets cut, it bleeds (and hurts!). The longer the nails grow, the longer the quick gets, making it harder to keep them short.
💡 Regular trims help the quick recede so that we can keep the nails at a healthy length over time!
