Hello fellow dog lovers! I’d like to discuss a sometimes forgotten health point for our furry friends.
FEET!!
Your pups Paws.. your terriers tootsies.. your dogs..dogs. 🙄😆🐾

There are many health aspects that pertain to our dogs feet.
From the health of their pads and the care of the fur between…
to the length of their nails and the many moving parts.
They are regulators of temperature, supporters of joints and muscle and are quite necessary for rambling about for adventure and play.
Today I want to focus on those nails..
🐾When a dogs nails are at a healthy length there is less of a chance of a painful break and often profuse bleeding.

🐾Also there are adverse affects on your dogs gait, their hips, feet and back when nails are too long.. especially the older pups.
And no one likes getting scratched during an over enthusiastic greeting.
Length is important. 🐾
The best way to achieve and keep your pups paws safe is regular trimming.
* When a nail grows longer the bloodline or ‘quick’ grows along with it. Making it difficult and often traumatic and dramatic to trim.
* However when you trim just the right amount the bloodline retracts. And there are usually no tears🥲
* Once the bloodline retracts getting a trim on a timely basis can quickly get that quick to a healthy length.
* Then.. depending on your dogs age, size and activity level you can space out regular nail trims and keep them healthy!!
* Another issue has been dogs NOT liking having their feet fooled with!! I have a lot of experience with this and have seen great improvement with positive reinforcement and building trust.
I’m happy to work regularly with your pup to get them to a point of relative comfort with their feet.
Contact me anytime to set up a nail trim. It usually only takes a few minutes and the charge is only $10.

Next post will be about the importance of pad health and keeping those dogs.. dogs healthy and cool. ❤️🐾❤️🐾
