Nail trimming frequency depends on your dog's activity level and environment. For many dogs, trimming every 2-4 weeks is sufficient. If you hear their nails clicking on hard surfaces, they are definitely too long. Overly long nails can cause discomfort, alter their gait, and even lead to paw injuries or joint problems over time. Be careful not to cut into the 'quick,' which contains blood vessels and nerves; it's easier to trim small amounts more frequently. If you're unsure, ask your vet or a professional groomer for a demonstration. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
