The problem of dog's nails is often a problem that many dog owners are very easy to ignore. Dogs have a blood line on their nails. The longer it grows, the more you will be trimming your dog's nails at that time, so it will suffer a lot, so the dog's nails should be trimmed in time, so let's take a look at the precautions for trimming the dog's nails.
Large and medium-sized dogs, due to their frequent movement on rough ground, can automatically smooth out their claws. Small playful dogs such as Beagles, Schnauzers, etc. rarely run on rough ground and wear less, and their toenails grow quickly. Too long toenails will make dogs uncomfortable. At the same time, it is also easy to damage indoor wooden furniture, cotton textiles and carpets, and sometimes too long toenails will split, which is easy to cause local infection. In addition, the big toe of the dog has degenerated, and there is a flying toe in the upper position of the foot, commonly known as "dewclaws". Therefore, trim your dog's toenails regularly. Dog toenails are very hard and should be trimmed with a special toe clipper for dogs and cats.
For the daily toenail trimming method, in addition to using special toe claw scissors, it is best to cut the toenails after they are soaked in the bath. It should be noted, however, that there are vascular nerves at the base of each paw. Therefore, when pruning, you can't cut too much or too deep. Generally, only about 1/3 of the claw is cut off, and it should be filed flat to prevent damage. If it is found that the dog moves abnormally after cutting, carefully check the toes to check for bleeding and damage. If there is damage, iodine can be applied. In addition to clipping toenails, check the footrest for trauma. In addition, the hair near the toe claws and the footrest should be often cut short to prevent slipping.
For large dogs, the nails do not need to be trimmed as often as small dogs, because normal walking can effectively wear the nails, and the dog's blood line should be cut as soon as possible to prevent it from getting longer and longer in the future.
