Nail health is important! Routine trimming will prevent the quick from growing out. The quick is a blood vessel that runs through the nail. Your groomer can only cut your pets nails as short as the quick will allow. When quicks grow out long it will be harder for you to cut your dog's nails short later on. Frequent nail trims will keep the quick pushed back and your dog's nails short. Overgrown nails can cause joint stress, balancing issues, and they can even grow back into the paw pad! Overgrown nails can also cause the feet to splay. As a result, certain parts of the foot do not carry weight anymore, which cause very painful and highly unsightly calluses and pressure sores to appear. So how often should you trim your dog's nails? A lot of the times the "click" is a good judge as to when your dog's nails are in need of a trim. The times you can hear your dog clicking on the hardwood floor or linoleum. A good rule of thumb is to do every 3-4 weeks or 2 weeks if the nails are overgrown in order to push the quicks back each time. This can also depend on your dog's activity level and the surfaces they walk on. If your dog frequently walks on concrete or pavement the act of this can keep the nails grinded down however grass and dirt will not do this. Different dogs nails grow at different rates too! It is a matter of finding what is right for your dog!
