Trimming your dog’s nails is beneficial for you and him. Long dog nails are not a good way to keep your dog with a neat appearance and with good hygiene. Dirt and other none sanitized things tend to accumulate under dog’s long nails, which will cause them to have many germs. Long nails are very uncomfortable and can avoid them from doing certain activities with the same agility that they are used to. Is a benefit to have your dog’s nails trim, since with long nails your dog can scratch himself, you and your furniture.

According to ASPCA it’s a good idea to get your dog used to having her feet touched before you attempt a nail trim. Rub your hand up and down her leg and then gently press each individual toe—and be sure to give her lots of praise and some food treats as you do this. Every animal is different, but chances are that within a week or two of daily foot massage, your dog will be better able to tolerate a trim.
