This Tuesday's pet tip focuses on paw care, a crucial aspect of your pet's overall health. As the foundation of their body, your pet's paws require regular monitoring to prevent potential issues. It is essential to inspect their paws frequently, looking for signs of cracks, debris, or irritation. During these routine checks, also examine their nails, ensuring they are kept short. Ideally, their nails should not be audible on hard surface flooring. Additionally, check for split or broken nails, which can cause discomfort for your pet. If your pet has dewclaws, make sure to inspect and trim them regularly. If you are unsure or uncomfortable trimming your pet's nails, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian or groomer. Neglecting foot and nail care can lead to pain and mobility issues, making it essential to prioritize regular checks, ideally monthly and after any strenuous activity.
