Many people try and put off doing their pets nails. For many reasons, such as money, don't want to go to the groomer, or they just don't have the time. However, as a groomer I have to let you all know the damage you are doing to your pets feet!
When the nails are long the Metacarpal, Phalanx 1, 2, and 3 are all stretched to accommodate the nail pressure pushing against the ground. Which not only puts a strain on these bones, but it also puts a strain on the muscles supporting these bones which can lead to lameness, pain, swelling and many other skeletal and muscular problems.
Please remember to get your pets nails trimmed regularly: about once every 3-4 weeks.
