We want to chat about nail trims briefly. Did you know that if your dog's nails get too long it can cause them pain and eventually also start to affect their posture? The nails will continue to grow and can loop back and start growing into their pads as well in extreme cases. Whether you take your dog to a groomer or do them yourself at home it is important to keep your dog's nails at an appropriate length. If you have a very active dog they will naturally wear down with use (especially on different surfaces such as pavement & concrete etc) but this is often not enough and shouldn't replace proper trims. You can use either a nail clipper or a dremel (here at Sam's house we like using a dremel and have found our dogs like it much more than the pressure caused by clippers).
Not sure where to start? Have a dog that HATES having their feet touched or tries to bite you when you trim their nails?
