🐾✨ DOG GROOMING TIP OF THE WEEK ✨🐾
💅 DON’T FORGET THE DEW CLAWS! 🐶
They may be tiny… but dew claws can cause BIG problems when they’re overlooked! 👀
Unlike the other nails, dew claws often don’t touch the ground, so they don’t naturally wear down.
That means they can keep growing until they become long, curved and uncomfortable — and in some cases can even grow into the paw pad. 😬🐾
✂️ When checking your dog’s nails, always check those little side claws too!
🔎 Keep an eye out for:
• Overgrown or curling nails
• Cracks or splits
• Nails catching on bedding or furniture
• Redness or irritation around the claw
• A dew claw getting close to, or touching, the paw pad
💡 A quick paw check between grooming appointments can make a big difference!
And remember… those sneaky little dew claws are very good at hiding! 😂🐾
Regular nail care keeps those paws comfortable, healthy and ready for their next adventure. 🐕❤️
