Dogs often move on rough ground and can automatically smooth out their outgrown toes, such as wolfhounds. A dog's toenails will grow quickly if they are rarely run on rough surfaces and receive less wear and tear.

Excessively long toenails can cause discomfort to dogs and can easily damage furniture, textiles, carpets and other items at home; sometimes overly long toenails can split and easily cause local infection.

In addition, the dog's big toe has degenerated, and there is a flying toe slightly above the inside of the foot, commonly known as "wolf's claw". It is a purely redundant degenerate object that hinders the dog's walking and makes it easy for the dog to scratch itself. Therefore, your dog’s toenails should be trimmed regularly.

Dog’s toenails are very hard and should be trimmed with a special toenail clipper specially designed for dogs and cats. Degenerated "wolf claws" should be removed by a veterinarian within 2-3 weeks after the puppy is born. Only one stitch is needed to avoid future troubles.

For daily toenail trimming, in addition to using special toenail clippers, it is best to wait until the toenails are soaked in a bath before cutting. However, it should be noted that there are blood vessels and nerves at the base of each toe claw.

Therefore, when pruning, you should not cut too much or too deeply. Generally, only about 1/3 of the claws are cut off, and they should be filed flat to prevent damage. If the dog is found to move abnormally after cutting, carefully check the toes for bleeding and damage. If there is damage, apply iodine. In addition to trimming your toenails, check your footrests for any injuries. In addition, the hair near the toe claws and foot pillows should be cut short frequently to prevent slipping.
