When was the last time you checked your dog’s nails? If you're unsure, you're not alone—and chances are, they might be overdue for a trim.
Overgrown nails aren't just a cosmetic issue. They can affect your dog’s posture, cause discomfort, and even lead to long-term joint problems. The good news? Spotting the signs is easier than you think.
1. You Hear Clicking Sounds on Hard Floors
If you hear a click-click-click as your dog walks across the tile or hardwood, it’s a clear sign their nails are too long. A healthy nail should not touch the ground when your dog stands or walks.
2. Your Dog Starts Slipping or Losing Traction
Too-long nails can interfere with your pup’s grip. This becomes obvious on slick surfaces like wood or tile floors where they may skid or appear unsure on their feet.
3. They Change the Way They Walk (This One’s Sneaky!)
Long nails can push toe joints upwards, forcing your dog to shift their weight back. Over time, this changes their gait and may lead to skeletal issues or chronic pain.
4. You Notice Redness or Swelling Near the Nail Bed
If nails start curling or pressing into the pad, they can cause inflammation, pain, or even infection. This is especially common with dewclaws.
5. They Flinch or Pull Away When You Touch Their Paws
If your dog normally doesn’t mind paw handling but suddenly becomes sensitive, it could be due to nail discomfort or pain. Don’t ignore it!
