How to Treat Your Dog's Nails Using Dog Nail Clippers 

There are many reasons why your dog's nails may become long and thick. They could be an inherited trait from your ancestors, or even caused by poor diet and lack of exercise. In general, nails should only grow to about an inch, although a few dogs have long and thick nails.

Your pet may have an issue if you notice them constantly digging at the tip of their toes. Some pets, like cats, will chew their paws to shreds if their paws are not cared for properly.

One of the ways to prevent your doggy from destroying their claw is to take them to the vet when they are young. This way, the vet can determine the cause of the problem. Some of the reasons they develop fingernails is because of poor nutrition, a lack of exercise, excessive shedding, and fungus.

When your vet gives your pet a prescription for pain medication, it can cause them to lose their appetite. The veterinarian may recommend a better diet to help your doggy cope with pain. You can also treat the problem by giving your pet a diet high in calcium.

To keep your dog nails from becoming a problem, use one of the many products available. The most effective and convenient way to treat your dog's nails is by using dog nail clippers. These items are designed to gently trim away hair from the tips of your dog's nails. Clipping their nails is an easy and very natural way to encourage your dog to walk more and be less likely to chew on their nails.

Dogs have different shapes and sizes of nails, so clippers for the right size can be hard to find. You can use small scissors to trim away the extra hair from your dog's nails. If the problem persists, your vet may prescribe you some over-the-counter remedies that can help control your dog's nail issu.

Nail clippers can be placed inside a medicine bottle, but it is easy to simply clip your dog's nails in the bathtub. Take extra care when using scissors to clip your dog's nails because they are more fragile than human nails. If your dog already has a thick layer of skin, you may need to apply a coat of nail polish to help hide the problem.

After clipping your dog's nails, use an apple to give them some protection from the sun and remove any flakes of skin that may be left over. Apply a thin coat of nail polish to the nails after clipping. Let it dry overnight before washing the nails in the morning.

Dogs are naturally adept at putting a good shine on their nails, but there are times when it just doesn't happen. If you have pet owners who polish their dog's nails regularly, it will be easy to keep your dog's nails healthy. Taking a daily bath for your dog will also help prevent any problems in the future.

Most dog shampoo will include vitamin E and jojoba oil, both of which will make your dog's nails stronger. Once your dog has had their nails clipped, they should not need additional treatments, unless they have an issue with chipped or broken nails. Your vet may recommend a new type of shampoo for your dog, as many are formulated to prevent or reduce nail problems.

For people who don't want to purchase new dog toenails, or for those who have found they have a lot of loose dog clippers, there are some other options. If you have a set of dog clippers or barbells, you can either polish them down, or you can use them to clip your dog's claws. If you choose to clip them then, make sure to rinse off the dirt or bacteria before you put them in their bed.
