This is a sweet baby that I groomed a few weeks ago. I know we get busy in life happens, but when dogs nails get too long, the bones in the foot start deforming because the nails are forcing the toes in unnatural positions for a long period of time. I imagine that’s equal to a human sticking their foot in a shoe that’s 2 sizes too small and having to walk like that all day. So important to always make sure those nails are getting trimmed 😊
In the first few pictures, you can see the toes bending to the side due to the nails beingg too long, which is forcing weight on the wrong part of thee foot, now the dog is having to compromise his/her weight, which then effects how they stand, developing pain, arthritis, and sniffness in the joints 
After trimming the nails, you can see the toes go back into the same position they are meant to be in which now takes pressure off certain parts of its foot and now is able to use the whole foot which in turn, the whole skeletonel frame is not compromising itself anymore due to the nails being too long
In one of the pictures where the nails are already Trimmed, you can actually see the toe starting to have permanent damage from the nails growing so long
I’m not shaming. Just bringing awareness 🙂 I didn’t know until someone showed me.
