Why do you need to cut dogs nails?

Like will it hurt the dog if you dont.Why do you need to cut dogs nails?
Yes it can.


If the dogs nails get too long, they can loop around causing great pain for the dog to walk with them like that, and they can eventually start growing back into the pad of the dog's paw.Why do you need to cut dogs nails?
Not only can they grow into their paws if left unchecked, they can also become brittle and split, revealing the quick and leaving an opening for infection.





If you aren't comfortable doing this, it only costs like $10 at PetsMart and you don't need an appointment, they accept walk-ins for that.





Also, a nice walk on the pavement every day is generally enough to file them down and keep them healthy too and clip less often, or with some dogs not at all.
Well I have had dogs that never needed their nails clipped since they were outside a lot their nails filed down naturally from walking on the concrete ETC. But most dogs, especially ones that are kept indoors most of the time, need nail trims because if you do not trim at least once a month, their nails would eventually curl around back into their toes resulting in an ingrown toenail, which is very painful. Besides the obvious health reasons it also looks better to have a neatly groomed dog or puppy!!
the nails will continue to grow.. at some point the dog cannot walk comfortably.. and then the nails begin to curl under the foot and can actually begin to curl upward and into the paw pad.





Nails need to be kept trimmed somehow.. either by trimming them.. or keeping the dog active on hard surfaces to wear the nails down.
If a dog does not wear his nails down on a hard surface the nails can grow around an pierce his pads or cause the toes to spread out painfully. As in this link, I don't cut, I use a Dremel when my dogs need a trim.
no but it'll hurt you. and when you do cut them don't cut them in quick or they'll bleed and it'll be painful for them.
It will hurt the dog if it gets too long (it may curl), it can scratch up your floors if they are wood, they can mess with the furniture, and it hurts major if they scratch you when having long nails!
when their nails are long, they may also snag on things and sometimes rip the nail right off.
because long sharp nails dont feel good against your skin. and you dont have to cut them if your dog take very long wals every day.
