Trimming your dog’s nails should be done on a routine basis that way you won’t have to guess if the nails need trimming or not. Simply make the time to trim your dog’s nails every four to six weeks. Some dogs may be able to go eight weeks. However, if you hear their nails scratching or clicking on the floor while they walk then the nails need to be trimmed. If your dog scratches you and it hurts pretty bad then the nails need to be trimmed. Your dog’s hair along the paw pads may grow on the same timeline as the nails so if you see that the hair needs to be trimmed around the paws then you should also trim the nails. If you’re not sure how to trim the nails you can schedule an appointment with your local grooming salon or your veterinarians Dahlonega, GA.
