How to trim the nails of a German Pinscher? The daily care of a dog is still very important. So what should be done in the daily care of a German Pinscher? Let’s learn how to trim the nails of a German Pinscher.

Trim toenails

Dogs often exercise on rough ground and can automatically smooth out their outgrown toes, such as wolfhounds. If the dog rarely runs on rough ground and wears less, the toenails of dogs will grow very quickly, such as Pekingese, Shih Tzu, Poodle, etc. Toenails that are too long 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 to 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.
