N A I L S
A question I often get asked is, “How do I know if my dog’s nails need cutting?” The answer is that they shouldn’t touch the ground when your dog stands with a relaxed posture on a hard surface. When the nail touches the ground, it’s actually pushing the bone that the nail is attached to upwards, which is uncomfortable for your dog and will lead to pain and arthritis in the long run.
I know how scary it might feel to cut your dogs' nails, and how awful it is to cut the quick too short. The good news is, I can teach you how to confidently cut your dog’s nails, or even cut them for you!
