Chihuahua (Definite Introduction)
Dog nail problems are often easily ignored by many dog owners. One problem is that the dog’s nails have a blood line. If you don’t help the dog cut the blood line when he is young, then the dog’s nails will grow longer and further forward. When the time comes to help the dog cut the nails, then It will suffer a lot, so the dog's nails need to be trimmed immediately, so let's learn about the important things to pay attention to when trimming the dog's nails.
Large and medium-sized dogs can automatically smooth out their outgrown toes because they often walk on rough ground. Smaller playing dogs, such as Pekingese and Shih Tzu, rarely run on rough ground and suffer less wear and tear, and their toenails grow very quickly. Excessively long toenails will make the dog feel uncomfortable. It is also easy to damage indoor wooden furniture, cotton textiles, carpets, etc. Occasionally, toenails that are too long will split and easily cause local discomfort. 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 purely a superfluous decomposition with no actual function and can hinder walking or scratch itself. . Therefore, it is necessary to trim your dog’s toenails regularly. Dog's toenails are very brittle and hard, and should be trimmed with a special dog and cat toenail scissors.
In general toenail trimming methods, in addition to using professional toenail clippers, it is best to wait until the toenails are soaked in the 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, do not cut too much or too deeply. Generally, only about 1/3 of the claw is cut off, and it should be filed flat to avoid damage. If the dog is found to behave abnormally after cutting, carefully check the toes to see if there is any bleeding or damage. If there is damage, apply iodine. In addition to trimming the toenails, check the foot pillows for any trauma. In addition, the hair around the toes and foot pillows should be cut short frequently to prevent slipping.
The nails of large dogs do not need to be trimmed as often as those of small dogs, because normal interactions can effectively wear the nails. The blood lines of dogs should be trimmed as soon as possible to prevent them from getting longer.
