Have you ever cut your dog’s nails too close to the nail bed? It is not a good feeling. It would be the same as someone cutting your finger! Most dog owners know that cutting their dog’s nails can be a tricky process. It’s not always easy to know when to stop trimming. And it doesn’t get any easier if your dog doesn’t stay still! As a result, some people may feel a little nervous or even avoid nail trimming all together. But proper nail care is essential for your dog’s comfort and even health. If you are too nervous to do it yourself, bring your dog to our dog grooming in Eastern Suburbs.

Walks might not be enough!

Taking your dog out for regular walks definitely helps keeping the nails shorter. But it might not be enough to keep your dog’s nails at the perfect length. It’s important to check their nails regularly to see if they need trimming.

Correctly trimmed nails can greatly contribute to your dog’s health.

Over grown nails can cause your dogs’ feet to get out of alignment. This can cause discomfort and affect their health. In worst cases, the nails start to grown inside the dog’s skin. This is, of course, painful and can cause infections.

Determine if your dog’s nails need a trim by taking a look at the length.

They should be fairly short and ideally they should not be touching the ground on a firm, flat surface.
