🐾 Does your pup’s Nails look like the left or right?? 🐾
Physical and Structural Impacts:
Altered Posture: Nails hitting the ground force the toes upward and shift the dog's weight backward onto the paw pads or wrists.
Joint and Bone Stress: The unnatural foot angle strains the toes, ankles, knees, hips, and spine, which can speed up arthritis.
Splayed Toes: Continuous pressure forces the structural alignment of the foot to flatten and spread wide.
Reduced Traction: Long nails act like ice skates on hard floors, causing slips, slides, and potential muscle tears.
