Clipping your dog's nails is important. Shorter nails can help by:

• Preventing your dog's nails getting caught in carpet, furniture and other fabrics.
• Helping to prevent broken nails.
• Maintaining your dog's correct gait and posture.
• Improving mobility and pain in older and stiff dogs.
• Giving your dog better traction on slick surfaces.
• Preventing the nails from curling or embedding in the skin or paw pads.

Tips for when trimming your dog nails:

• Wait until your dog is calm and relaxed.
• Make sure to cut away small piece of nail at a time, rather than big pieces, to avoid cutting into the quick (blood line).
• If your dog is stressed around having the nails cut, work to desensitize your dog to the clippers gradually.
• Try using a licking matt covered in some wet food or peanut butter to distract your dog while you trim.
