😮💨 I’ve seen a lot in my many years as a business owner working with animals…… but this was hands down the WORST case of neglected nails I’ve ever seen in my career 😔!!!
✋🏽🛑NO JUDGEMENT ZONE, this was an elderly lady in her 90’s whom doesn’t have much of a way around surviving on a limited budget! This lady tried to have them cared for (when you have vets that want to charge 400-1K to sedate the dog or other groomers who denied service) what do you do?! I am so incredibly happy her daughter by divine intervention ran into me at gas station!! This was definitely my guardian 🐾🪽 angels helping out this family, leading them to me!🥰
This sweet pup’s nails were SO overgrown that two had curled completely around and grown into the paw pad. Yes….into the pad. 💔 You could clearly see that every step was painful. You could see it in the way he stood, the way he walked, the way he looked up at me with the first sense of relief once I extracted two of the nails out of the pad! I did some first aid, cleaning & numbing the pain from the wound! In the pictures you can see bottom paw is the curly nails, the top is what they looked like when we finished!! 💓
In many cases like this, a visit to the vet can cost a few hundred dollars or close to 1K for sedation and nail extraction. We were able to carefully and safely remove the ingrown nails, clean and treat the area, check for signs of infection and give this sweet baby instant relief!!! The change in his posture and comfort level was immediate. He started moving around like a new man with a new set of shoes once he was placed on the ground running around!! 🥰Those paw pads will heal beautifully now that the pressure is gone & first aid has been done!!! I am so glad this lady was led to me for help!! 🙏
Overgrown nails are not just cosmetic, they change the way a dog stands, strain their joints, and can literally grow back into their skin like this pup!
If your dog’s nails are long, curled, clicking loudly on the floor, or you’re unsure… please call me!!! I am certified in this, I have taken care of many pups & cats in similar situations! Something the vet will charge you hundreds for we can get resolved & save you hundreds!!! There is no judgment here, only resolution. Life gets busy. We’re here to help make your pet feel better, not shame you as an owner 🙏✨
Let’s keep your pups comfortable, pain-free, and walking happy!! Have a great weekend!! ❤️🐾
