The pitter-patter of your dog's nails on the floor might seem like a cute heads-up that he is trotting down the hall to come to see you. However, in reality, it can represent a serious health risk.

Long dog nails, especially if they have begun to curl, can have a lasting impact on your pet's health. Fortunately, there is a mobile dog groomer that offers an affordable, convenient, and high-quality solution that will resolve all your dog’s nail trimming challenges.

Pet Grooming 101: Understanding the Health Risks of Long Dog Nails

A dog's nail has two layers - the hard-outer layer, and the interior component that includes the quick. The quick is uniquely designed to bring blood to the nail's core. Both the exterior and the interior nail can grow quickly. However, unlike the exterior shell which can be worn down, the interior quick can grow too long and subsequently give your dog a “splayed paw.”

Long nails can also lead to other painful paw deformities, reduced traction on various surfaces, and can cause tendon injuries. Fortunately, with the help of our mobile dog groomer and pet grooming practices, you can eliminate the health risks associated with long dog nails.

Schedule a Professional Dog Nail Trimming

On average, a dog should have his nails trimmed every four weeks. However, if your pup spends most of his day lounging on the couch, then you should schedule professional dog nail trimming sessions more frequently. The benefits of keeping your dog's nails short include:

  • A healthy lifestyle that includes "happy" paws.
  • Stronger and more attractive nails that are less prone to cracking or splintering.
  • Improved strength and health of joints, ligaments, and tendons.
  • Increased traction on various surfaces.
  • Reduced risk of painful split or cracked nails.

At Primped Pooches Mobile Dog Spa, we proudly offer a wide range of pet grooming services, including dog nail trimming. Throughout your dog's pedicure session, we keep him relaxed, stress-free, and happy as we trim his nails to their appropriate length.

We carefully assess your dog's breed, lifestyle, activity level, weight, and size before selecting a nail length. Our goal is to help your pet live a healthy and happy life. That’s why our professional dog groomers will also recommend a specific timeline for your pet's next nail trimming.
