Why Nail Trimming Matters

Why Nail Trimming Matters

Untrimmed nails can cause real health problems. Over time, long nails may lead to:

  • Painful walking and posture changes
  • Reduced traction and slipping
  • Joint strain, sore muscles, and arthritis
  • Nails curling into the paw pad, causing wounds or infections
  • Snagging on carpets or fabrics, exposing the quick and increasing infection risk

Routine nail maintenance keeps your pet moving comfortably and safely.

If your pet is especially anxious, uncooperative, or requires two caregivers for safety, additional fees may apply. In some cases, this is only clear during the visit unless weโ€™ve trimmed your pet before and know what to expect.

FAQs

How often should my petโ€™s nails be trimmed?

Dogs usually need trims every 3โ€“4 weeks, cats every 10โ€“14 days, and small pets like rabbits or guinea pigs need regular maintenance to prevent overgrowth and discomfort.

Can nail trimming at home be safer than the groomer or vet?

Yes! In-home nail trims keep your pet in a familiar environment, reducing anxiety and stress while allowing professional caregivers to handle nails safely.

What happens if I donโ€™t trim my petโ€™s nails regularly?

Overgrown nails can cause pain, posture issues, slipping, joint strain, and even arthritis. Long nails can curl into the paw, causing wounds or infections.

Do you trim nails for all types of pets?

We trim dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and other small pets as needed. Each nail trim is customized to your petโ€™s size, temperament, and comfort level.

What if my pet is anxious or uncooperative?

Our trained caregivers know how to work gently with nervous or squirmy pets. For very difficult cases, a second caregiver may assist for safety, with prior notice if extra fees apply.

How long does an in-home nail trim take?

Most nail trims are about 15 minutes, but anxious or uncooperative pets may take longer. Our caregivers work calmly to ensure safety and comfort, not speed.
