Whether your pup likes having their nails trimmed or not, it’s an essential grooming task that you should prioritize in your pet care regimen. Dog nail trimming provides benefits for both you and your furry family member.

The Importance of Dog Nail Trimming

1. Prevent Pup Injuries

Your dog can injure themselves if their nails are too long. When they scratch an itch, overly long nails could cut into their skin. Keep in mind that you should have a professional do the trimming since cutting the nails too short could also hurt your dog and leave them susceptible to infection.

2. Avoid People Injuries

pet careWhen you play with your dog or they welcome you home from work, their long nails could scratch you. If they’ve been digging in the yard or have otherwise dirty nails, they may even transfer an infection into that cut. Nicely trimmed nails will reduce this problem.

3. Save Your Flooring & Furniture

Trimming your dog’s nails is an investment in protecting your property as well. Long nails can scratch up the finish on your beautiful hardwood flooring or tear up the fabric on your favorite couch.  

4. Prevent Foot Pain

Overgrown nails make it painful for your pup to walk. Every time they step down on a paw, the nails push against the ground and are forced back into the nail bed. Extremely long nails might even curl inward toward the paws.
