With the development and changes of the current society, many people in life will raise a pet dog as a companion in their families. In the process of raising pet dogs, they will also encounter many problems, such as how long does it take for the dog to take a bath? Whether or not you need to wear clothes in winter is some of the problems that new parents will encounter. There are also many people who don’t know whether dogs need nail cutting, so we can also take a brief look.

1. Does a dog need to cut his nails? A. Dogs living in natural environments? If they are dogs living in natural environments, generally speaking, the dog's nails will rub a lot with the ground, so the nails will become very short due to friction, so basically there is no need to trim them.

B. Domestic pet dogs

In reality, many dogs are domestic pet dogs, and they spend more time indoors, so their nails do not have the chance to be rubbed so much, so their nails will be longer, so parents need to perform regular nail trims for their dogs.

2. Dogs have long nails, so why do they have to trim?

First, dogs' nails grow relatively fast. If the owner does not have the habit of trimming their nails regularly, the blood lines inside will grow longer and longer as the nails grow longer. In this way, the dog's nails will bend and then pierce into the flesh. The dog will feel pain. In severe cases, wounds and inflammation will even form, and the dog cannot walk.

Secondly, if the dog's nails are too long, it is very easy to scratch our family when they are intimate with their family and play with them, especially those with children at home. The children's skin is relatively delicate, and the dog is not light or severe, and it is very easy to hurt the child. Severe children also need to be vaccinated, and there is even the possibility of secondary sexual intercourse. Finally, if the dog's nails are particularly long, it is easy to scratch the bottom floor when they are active at home, and it is also easy to scratch the sofa cushions, bed skirts, handbags, furniture, etc. at home.

So domestic pet dogs must trim their nails regularly.

3. What should you pay attention to when trimming your pet dog's nails?

First, you must be decisive when trimming your dog's nails, because dogs are generally more resistant to others cutting their nails. When the dog hasn't reacted, it is best to cut off the nails decisively, otherwise it will not succeed. If the dog finds that you are cutting your nails, it will constantly retract its paws, which will make it difficult to cut nails, and it will easily hurt the dog when you cut your nails.

In fact, when trimming a dog, you should also trim the hair on the dog's soles of the feet. If the hair is too long, the dog will easily slip when walking on the floor at home. Trim the hair on the soles of the feet to strengthen the friction between the soles of the feet and the ground, so that the dog will walk more stably.

So from the above points, it can be seen that domestic pet dogs are very necessary to trim their nails regularly. They are not only safe and healthy, but also can avoid the pain of long nails piercing them into the flesh. Therefore, the owner should also form the good habit of trimming their nails regularly.
