Here is why your dog's nails should not be too long!

Health and Comfort Risks

* Painful pressure: Long nails push back into the nail bed when walking.
* Altered posture: Dogs shift their weight backward to avoid discomfort.
* Joint damage: Abnormal walking positions cause strain on hips and spine.
* Deformed paws: Chronic long nails can permanently change paw structure.

Injury and Infection Risks.

* Painful tears: Long nails easily catch on carpets, roots, or blankets.
* Inward growth: The dewclaws can curl around and pierce the skin.
* Infections: Torn or ingrown nails allow bacteria to enter the paw.
* Reduced traction: Long nails make dogs slip and slide on smooth floors.

The "Quick" Problem

* Elongated quicks: The internal blood vessel grows longer alongside the nail.
* Difficult trimming: Longer quicks make it harder to shorten the nails safely later.

5 lovely kittens now 6 weeks old are looking for a loving forever home. All very social and not shy.
They were found a few weeks ago in a cardboard box by the trash 😔
