Mobile Nail Trims

Nail maintenance is an important part of caring for your dog’s health. Long nails cause discomfort, limit mobility, are at risk of tearing, and over time can permanently flatten the bones in the feet, which also leads to structural problems in the legs and spine. For most dogs, the ideal nail length is to have the nails hover above the ground and to not make a clicking sound when they walk. For dogs whose nails are too long and whose quicks have grown out with the nail, trimming nails every week, or biweekly, encourages the vein to recede and can return the nails to a healthy length. The rate at which nails are worn down naturally varies from dog to dog based on genetics and lifestyle. Most dogs who are not running daily on cement or doing heavy digging should have their nails trimmed every 4-6 weeks.
