Why You Need A Pro to Trim Your Dog's Nails

Christin Boyte • June 25, 2019
Learn why it's always best to have a professional pet groomer trim your dog's nails.

Do you regularly hear the pitter patter of your dog's nails on your floors? Have your dog's nails started to curl? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then your dog might have nails that are far too long. Long dog nails are not only damaging to their surroundings, but they can cause numerous health risks to your beloved pet. The good news is that a mobile dog spaoffers an affordable, high quality, and convenient solution to your dog nail trimming woes.

What are the Risks of Long Dog Nails?

A dog's nail is made of an outer hard material, while the interior of the nail consists of the quick. The quick is what brings blood to the core of the nail. Like the exterior hard shell, the quick grows with your dog's nail. Unfortunately, if you let the quick grow too long, then you can turn your dog's "sound paw" into a "splayed paw." The longer nails can also cause reduced traction, other paw deformities, and even injure tendons over time. When the long nail hits the ground, it can place extra pressure on the leg and foot, which can cause additional damage. In short, long nails can create a wide range of potential health risks for your dog.

What are the Benefits of Professional Dog Nail Trimming?

Professional dog nail trimming services are designed to help your dog avoid all of the previously mentioned risks. Short nails also help to maintain the quick, which can help your dog enjoy healthy paws, good traction, and an overall happier life. Additional benefits of nail trimming include:

  • Healthier and more attractive nails
  • Reduced joint, tendon, and ligament strain
  • Increased traction on all types of surfaces
  • Elimination of pain from split or cracked nails

Throughout the nail trimming process, we keep your dog relaxed, and are careful to trim nails to their appropriate length for your dog's weight, size, breed, and lifestyle. You'll immediately be able to see a difference in your dog's behavior after a nail trimming treatment.
