How to Brush Your Dogs Teeth.

How Often Should I Get My Dogs Nails cut?

How often you should get your dogs nails done? When your dogs nails grow out so does the quick( this is blood vessels and nerves in the nail). When the quick grows out then to cut the nails back you have to cut the quick that is when the nails bleed and it causes you dog pain. The solution to this is have the nails done every month even if you do not have the hair done.
Nails can grow into the pads, can cause deformities in the foot and cause discomfort if left too long. It can also lead to infections and removal of the toes themselves.
Here at Pretty As A Picture Cat and Dog Grooming we do nails without appointments. Just call to let us know you are coming. It only takes a couple of minuets to do so you can wait and go.

It is not uncommon for us to notice health issues that owners miss. Some have been life saving. Regular visits to your groomer can be a very important part of your health program for your pets. It is not just for a pretty face. We touch every part of their body's during the grooming process and feel things and see things you may miss in everyday petting and grooming.
