Nails are not just cosmetic
When nails get long, they hit the ground first and push the toes back. Over time that changes how a dog stands, strains the joints, and makes walking on hard floors harder than it should be.
The click test
If you hear nails clicking on tile or wood, they are too long. On most dogs the nails should not touch the floor when they stand still.
Quick and cheap
A nail trim is $15 on its own, and it is already part of every bath and full groom. It takes a few minutes and it is one of the easiest things you can do for your dog's comfort.
