Reasons to Trim Dog Nails

Tell your dog you love them by rubbing their ears. Rubbing your pup’s ears makes them happy and they feel loved. While doing this, you can whisper sweet nothings and tell them how much you love them. They’ll be grateful for this special attention and extra love.
The great thing about owning a pet https://www.tacojoesbyronbay.com/ is that you’ll always have a special bond– even during times of quarantine! We are often asked questions about dog’s nail, including trimming frequency, benefits and services that we offer. Having your dog’s nails trimmed regularly is an important part of routine grooming.

Many times, we hear: “I have hardwood floors and my dog’s nails are driving me up the wall!” Dogs that run or walk on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt are able to wear down their nails. However, many dogs either spend most of their time indoors on carpet or run around in grass. This means that their nails tips are not worn down regularly, which can lead to overly long nails.

Nails that are too long are at risk of being torn off, such as if your dog’s nail gets caught on carpeting or a piece of furniture. This can result in an injury that might require a vet visit. Longer dog nails also make it harder for dogs to walk around comfortably. When your dog’s nails hit the floor constantly as she walks. this puts more pressure on the nail bed. This pressure can cause discomfort that forces your dog to distribute her weight differently while she walks, which can affect the way her toe and paw joints are aligned. Long unkept nails can also cause arthritis and ‘splaying’ or deformation of the bones. Also, nails continue to grow and can begin to grow into the paw pad which may be hard to notice on dogs with furry feet. This is very painful and at times results in a veterinarian visit.

Do you find that your dog leaves a trail of hair wherever they go? Does he shake and make it “snow” fur? Perhaps you find “snow” all year round at your house and you would like the fur to be minimal. We offer a fantastic treatment called the Shed-X treatment that can help reduce shedding up to 90%! This treatment helps the dog fur stay at our spa instead of your home.

The Shed-X treatment is a full day of pampering starting with special shampoo and conditioner that is left on the pup for at least 10 minutes to receive the greatest benefit. Your furry friend then gets a blow out and a special brushing using a special de-shedding tool. No matter the size of your dog, our Shed-X treatment is only an additional $21.
