Nails Trimming

Groomer trimming long dog's nails
Most dog owners understand that grooming is an essential part of dog ownership, but not all of them realize that dog grooming requires more than just washing the coat and brushing out excess fur. Dogs also need to undergo periodic nail trimming to stay happy and healthy.
​
Why Dogs Need Their Nails Trimmed?
​

When dog owners don’t take their furry friends in for quality grooming, including nail filing and trimming, it can cause serious health problems. Dogs with long nails can be injured when they are torn off and may require veterinary care. Even if they manage to avoid this worst-case scenario, dogs with long nails will still struggle with gait problems due to constant pressure on the nail beds. This can cause toe and paw joint misalignment and substantial discomfort.

Compromising a dog’s gait can also make it painful to walk and run and leave the animal at an increased risk of suffering serious injuries. In severe cases, overgrown nails can also curve and grow into dogs’ paws or can split open, causing a good deal of pain.

​
Do All Dogs Need Their Nails Trimmed?

Some dogs have faster-growing nails than others. Animals that frequently walk on concrete, asphalt, and other hard, rough surfaces wear down their nails faster than dogs that walk and run primarily on grass and indoor floors, so dogs in the city may require less frequent trims. However, no breed is immune to nail problems, so the best thing for owners to do is to ask a professional when they take their dogs in for other routine types of dog grooming.

Benefits of Having Nails Trimmed at Each Visit to the Groomer
​

Responsible dog owners should already be taking their pets to dog groomers who they can trust to do a good job. Along with quality grooming, our professionals can also provide nail trimming services. Incorporating nail filing into the dog’s routine grooming schedule makes it easier to keep up with this important task and ensures that the animal will always be comfortable walking around.

Keeping a dog’s nails consistently short offers another distinct benefit. It helps the animals feel comfortable having their nails touched. If a dog’s nails get too long, they can be painful. This pain can make otherwise friendly dogs feel threatened or behave aggressively when people touch their paws, making it even more difficult for groomers to get overgrown nails under control.

Keeping dogs’ nails short prevents injuries and gait problems that can lead to debilitating joint damage. Taking dogs to the groomer is the safest and least stressful way to make sure that the job gets done right without harming the animal. Call to schedule an appointment today.

Some dog owners may be wondering what all the fuss is about when it comes to professional nail filing. There are a few reasons that trimming a dog’s nails requires specialized skill in ways that trimming human fingernails or toenails does not. The most important of them is the animal’s safety.

Unlike people, dogs’ nails have a quick. This inner, fleshy part of the nail is very sensitive and accidentally cutting into it can cause a lot of pain and bleeding. Dog owners who don’t have experience with trimming their pets’ nails are often nervous and prone to mistakes, while professional groomers know exactly what they’re doing and what steps to take to ensure the animal’s safety.

Hiring a groomer to trim a dog’s nails also saves dog owners time and a lot of stress. For maximum stress reduction, find mobile groomers that offer this service. That way, owners won’t have to take time out of their busy days to head to the groomer and pets won’t have to stress about entering a new environment.


​The Bottom Line

Keeping dogs’ nails short prevents injuries and gait problems that can lead to debilitating joint damage. Taking dogs to the groomer is the safest and least stressful way to make sure that the job gets done right without harming the animal. Call to schedule an appointment today.
