Overgrown nails can lead to a range of problems, including discomfort when walking, difficulty maintaining proper posture, and an increased risk of injury. Long nails can also cause a dog's gait to become altered, potentially leading to joint and musculoskeletal issues over time. Moreover, if left unchecked, excessively long nails can curl and grow into the paw pads, causing pain, infections, and mobility problems. Regular nail trimming maintains proper nail length, preventing these discomforts and complications. While nail clipping might be intimidating for some dogs and groomers, it's a skill worth mastering to ensure their optimal health.

To trim your dog's nails effectively, use nail clippers. Hold them down the handle for better control. Examine the nails for the pink quick, and trim the tips accordingly. If the nail edges are too sharp, consider using a nail grinder, and gradually familiarize your dog with it.
