It’s important to keep an eye on your dogs and other pets too. Generally speaking, pets can’t groom themselves as well as we humans can. This is especially true when it comes to their nails. If you live in the greater Rancho Cucamonga area, bring your pets to Day Creek Animal Hospital for grooming and veterinary pet care.
Here’s Why Professional Dog Nail Trimming is Vital
Grooming may be a bit intimidating for your pets, and it can be a hassle for owners as well. That said, professional grooming is important, especially for dogs. Your dog’s nails will grow throughout his or her lifetime and without regular trimming, these nails could cause some serious problems.
First, long nails increase the risk of someone getting accidentally scratched. This includes you, your family, kids, and other pets, too. Unfortunately, scratches can become infected and may require medical or veterinary care. It’s best to prevent scratches from occurring in the first place.
Second, long nails could injure your pet. If you’ve ever suffered a broken nail, you probably know just how painful it is. Your dog’s nails are especially sensitive and if broken or improperly cut, it could cause severe pain.
While human nails are pretty simple, consisting mostly of a thin layer of keratin, dog nails are a bit more complex. Your dog’s nails require a constant supply of blood and are surrounded by sensitive tissues and nerves. If your dog breaks a nail, or you cut too much of the nail off, it can cause a lot of pain.
Our veterinarian can properly trim your pet’s nails. Visiting our animal hospital for professional grooming and veterinary pet care is a wise idea. Having our veterinarian clip your dog’s nails can greatly reduce the risk of injuries and other problems.
