This is why regular nail clipping is important for your dog

There are a number of reasons why you should trim your dog's nails on a regular basis, particularly with a great set of canine nail clippers. Clipping should always be part of every pet grooming routine.

If your pup has nails that are too long, they may be experiencing discomfort and even pain, especially when walking. This can lead to split nails, which can be even more painful. When a dog is constantly walking with nails that are too long, they may adjust their gait to compensate. This can also lead to problems with posture in the long run, as well as cleanliness issues with claws and paws. What’s more, keeping nails short will reduce the chance of your dog scratching itself and causing cuts or abrasions.

Make sure nail trimming is done right

It’s very difficult to clip your dog's claws with a poor quality instrument. It can even be dangerous, especially for dogs with darker nails, when it can be difficult to see the ‘quick’. This part of the nail contains blood vessels and nerve endings. A great quality pair of clippers will make sure you can trim quickly and easily, and one with a light will help improve visibility. A faster, easier trim means a happier dog!
