Cut Your Dog’s Nails Regularly
Well-trimmed nails are essential to your dog's health. Long nails may hamper its gait and posture, putting pressure on the nail bed and paw pad. Not-so-trim nails can crack, curl and become infected, causing pain and even serious injury. Not sure when to trim your dog's nails? Listen out for your dog on a hard surface: if you can hear the nails clicking, it's time to get the grinder out. Dogs that don't regularly exercise on hard surfaces, such as older dogs, will need a trim more often, as their nails don't wear down as much. Keep them nicely groomed and your dog will be one happy walker.
Use an Electric Pet Nail Grinder
With conventional nail clippers, you run the risk of cutting your dog's nails too short, snipping into the pink, live part of the nail called the 'quick' which contains blood vessels and nerve endings. Cutting below the quick is painful for your pooch! Electric pet nail grinders like Dremel's Pet Nail Grooming Tool (7300) or the new USB rechargeable, Dremel Pawcontrol can be a safe, stress-free alternative, allowing you to file away nails in a controlled manner. The quiet motor won't frighten your pet and the safety guard protects your dog from the rotating parts. Even if you're a fan of nail clippers, you'll find the tool useful for smoothing.
