Click-click-click… If you hear your dog’s nails tapping on the floor, it might be time for a trim.
Overgrown nails can cause discomfort, joint issues, or even affect how your dog walks. At PawBasic, we help pet parents in Mississauga stay ahead of the curve with regular nail grooming.
Here’s everything you need to know about dog nail care – and how to make the process easier for you and your pup.
⏱️ When Should You Trim Your Dog’s Nails?
A good rule of paw? Every 3–4 weeks, depending on your dog’s lifestyle and how often they walk on hard surfaces.
Signs your pup may be overdue:
- Clicking sounds on the floor
- Nails starting to curl under
- Hesitation during walks
- Licking or biting at their paws
Some dogs wear down their nails naturally – but many indoor pups need regular trims.
✂️ How to Trim Your Dog’s Nails Safely
If you’re trimming at home, follow these tips:
- Use sharp, pet-specific nail clippers
- Trim a little at a time to avoid the quick (the sensitive part)
- Keep styptic powder on hand for accidents
- Offer praise and treats for every paw
