You lead a busy life. You have more important things to do than clip your dog’s nails! Or do you? There are actually some very convincing reasons why you should keep your furry friend’s claws short.
First, it’s better for his health. When his claws get too long, they can affect his gait. He will adjust how he walks and runs to accommodate his long nails, which can be very bad on his muscle tone and joints. If he has to deal with long nails for a long time, his gait may never return to normal without physical therapy.
Long claws are also more likely to tear. It’s easy for them to get caught in clothing and carpeting. Then, when your dog pulls on his foot, his claw can tear off, which is very painful!
Long nails can scratch you too! For help clipping them, call your animal hospital Cy-Fair.
