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.

Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator works the best! it work like 20x better than those chinese calcium polishes you see at the beauty shop. Trust this is what you want heres the description:





Trick your nail into growing faster! The method for guaranteeing that 录 inch nail growth is simple! Garlic extract stimulates the receptors in the nail matrix (thats what your cuticles are there to protect!), and in response, the nail matrix makes more proteins. This new protein pushes the older protein out of the matrix, which creates keratin, which is what makes up the nail. The whole process naturally and safely convinces your nail to grow! With sulfur amino acids and hydrolyzed proteins, this clever formula strengthens the nail by bonding to it and creating an extra layer of nail to help prevent peeling. This bonding also protects the new nail that is produced by the garlic extract! Vitamins A, C %26amp; E all maintain the pH and moisture balance of the nail, keeping it flexible and preventing cracking. Apply as the base coat, and then once every two days over an existing manicure. Click on Items below for more details.


Heres the link to purchase it but you should be able to find it at Target, Walmart, or a Upscale Nail salon.

How do i cut my guinea pigs nails without hurting him?

i have a guinea pig and his nails are really long and starting to curl. i want to cut them, but i'm scared i might hurt him by cutting his quick. same with my dog. how do i cut them properly?How do i cut my guinea pigs nails without hurting him?
there are small pet nail clippers (see below for website) that can give ur pig the healthiest nails. for ur guinea pig, make the pig comfortable on ur lap (and if u can hand feed him) give him some timothy hay or veggie to munch on. lift his front paw away from his body, letting go if he flinches. carefully slide the clipper onto the nail, making sure that you are not cutting anywhere close to his ';shoulder'; if you see white (after clipping) then u are OK. if there is pink and blood, stop clipping immeditally. do this for all nails. if ur pig allows, flip him over on his back, this makes its easier to reach the nails. sorry idk how to cut dog nails, but the website teaches u. good luck and hope this helps.How do i cut my guinea pigs nails without hurting him?
If your piggie has light coloured nails, its not a hard job. If they are black, it is more difficult, especially for a first time piggie owner cutting nails for the first time.





Assuming your piggie has light coloured nails, use the ';Heather's Handy Pig Hold'; at the bottom of this article. Using human toenail clippers, clip the nail just in front of the quick. You will be able to see it through the nail. It is red/pink.

If you accidentally cut too short and he starts bleeding, don't panic. Use flour or baking soda as a quick fix. Better, is to go to the pet store beforehand and purchase some Styptic powder to stop bleeding. Its wise to have this on hand and it lasts quite a while since piggie nails aren't clipped but once per month.





If your piggie has dark or black coloured nails, you can just trim the tips, cutting just a tiny bit further each time you clip. If you're just too nervous to do this, call your vets office %26amp; ask if the tech can help you. Many times, the vets office will charge little to nothing to clip a piggies nails, but call first to make sure.
I was actually able to hold my male guinea pig with one hand and cut his nails with my other. I was surprised it worked out, but he is very chubby and lazy so he didn't mind being held against me. My female on the other hand wouldn't go for that so whenever she stands up against her cage and her nails stick through the bars I cut them, it's a pretty stupid way to do it but it worked lol. If you're not able to do it yourself you can bring him to a vet. I may decide to bring my pigs to a vet from now on, it's less stressful.
You'll need two people and, ideally, nail clippers specific to rodents for this. You need someone to hold your guinea pig while you cut the nail - it's more likely you'll hurt him if he's squirming around. Cut very little of the nail just to be careful.





Good luck.
use the pedicure its kinda like a drill but it files the nail with out breaking or cracking it.
VET ITS THE SAFEST WAY
  • cosmetics
  • How do you take of thick fake nails?

    i tried doing my own nails and the arcyl got on the back of the nail. so it ist really thick.How do you take of thick fake nails?
    They have to be melted off with acetone. It takes a long time and you have to work it with an orange wood stick. It is best to go to a professional. A professional might have an ultrasonic soaker that will minimize the time you have to be exposed to the acetone. Or they might have these little finger caps that soak your fingertips only.


    Be careful, however. Some salons do not practice safe removal and I have heard of people having had the acrylics ripped from the nail at places like this. One woman had part of her natural nail ripped off the nail bed like this. In the center. So go to a place that is not into cheap shortcuts.How do you take of thick fake nails?
    You have to soak them in acetone. When they start to get soft your can lift them off. Be careful not to pull your real nail off with it.
    I usually bite mine off too
    well, if you must do it at home the best thing to do is acetone. the bet is just cosmetic acetone, and not just acetone nail polish remover.


    honestly, your best bet would be too go to the nail salon and have them remove it. they can get them off the best w/o destroying as much of your nails.


    i mean, your nails underneat are going to be damaged, but it will be a little less than if you do it at home and tear and rip and melt and stuff.
    acetone polish remover
    If you want to take them completely off, soak them in acetone (about $1 a bottle from Wal-mart) and slowly and carefully peel them off. Don't rip them off, it could destroy your nail. If you just want the acrylic off the back of the nail, take a cotton swab with acetone on it and let it soak on just the back for a few minutes and scrape it off with a toothpick.
    go to the shop and let them take them off i had the nails on they it hurt if you take them off our self
    NO. Trust me, go to the salon and pay the $10 and have them soak them off. You will completely screw up your natural nails if you don't.





    I'm female and I have them and I ripped of nails trying to soak them off myself.
    DONT U USE POLISE REMOVER OR TRY PAINT THINNER OR WAIT FOR MORE COMMENTS I DONT DO THE FAKE NAIL THING THEY WOULD GET IN MY WAY


    HAVE A GREAT DAY
    SOAK YOUR HANDS IN WATER THE HOTTER THE BETTER
    you can use nail polish remover like everyone else said to do. it works. just keep in mind that your real nails are going to look terrible until they completely grow out. be careful, too, when removing the fake nails - you can accidentally tear your own nail if you try too hard getting them off.
    r u saying ';take off fake nails';???????? go to the shop otherwise you'll hurt yourself
    dont pull them off it will make your real nails brittle just slowly take nail cutters and cut them paint your nails until your nails grow them off it will take about two weeks but you have to get used to having very short nails
    Go to the dentist. and you might want an x-ray.


    best of luck and much love xx
    soak the in acetone polish remover for a while then they should come off fairly easy good luck!!
    they actually sell a specific solution at drugstores that can remove them easily and effectively -- check in the Nailpolish remover section.





    Just make sure you know what the fake part is made of before you purchase the solvent -- example: acrylic -- and make sure the label on the solvent bottle describes that it removes that particular fake nail type.
    cut the ends off with clippers, if they are too thick for clippers, use scissors. soak them in acetone polish remover. don't pull them off, that will damage the nail.
    BITE THEM OFF
    I think you have to soak them in nail polish remover.





    They can be a PAIN to take off!! Ouch!
    acetone polish remover and them in it.
    polish remover
    Buy a bottle of cosmetic acetone and drop your finger in there for a while until the nail comes off.
    get them removed proffesionally so you dont ruin your real nail
    Soak them in soap and warm water for 30 minutes and then you remover they come off much easier.
    File them down and for the underside there is a special file that in cone shaped for that area. You can also use a small dremmel tool with small filing tips, its so much faster and looks way better. Good luck :) If you want them off permanently soak them in acetone
    u soak the nail in fingernail polish remover that contains acetone it makes it easier 2 come off

    pathetic efforts i am am sure some of you knockers will be forced to agree ? he is a complete weirdo and an embarrasment to the game , what do you say .I commented last week about peter crouch playing like a giraffe with ingrowing toe nails ,after yesterdays?
    yh


    no


    maybeI commented last week about peter crouch playing like a giraffe with ingrowing toe nails ,after yesterdays?
    we should not criticize players but yeah he is a duffer
    Another loser, who knows absolutely nothing about football.
    who the hell are you to give evaluation on a proffessional footballer who plays in a national team and in the most succsesful club in england ?.players have ups and down like everyone else in life. but i guess it is your opinion and nothing more ....
    .You are the weirdo and an embarrassment to your family. You clearly know nothing about football but are sadly entitled to your opinion
    ok
    Liverpool looked ordinary but that was hardly his fault.
    Stick to brushing streets football management must be a mystery to you.
    Weird thing to say considering his international and domestic record!! He's not the type of player I do like and in front of goal his heading ability is pretty poor, but he is one of the best players I've ever seen at holding the ball up or flicking it down to someone else (via head or foot). Try actually 'watching' him play next time and ignore the tinted specs you're wearing - then people may begin to listen to what you have to say!!
    All i can say is he's very very tall.And yeah i agree but then i would I'm a life long Chelsea fan!!
    plays for one of the biggest clubs in world footbal and best club in england.


    plays for one of the biggest national teams in the world.


    2nd top scorer in last years champions league
