The Importance of Nail Trimming<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nNail trimming is a necessary part of dog ownership. Few Rottweilers, especially those who spend the majority of their time indoors or on grass when outdoors, will wear down their nails naturally. If your dog’s nails make an unmistakable click, click, click as he walks on hardwood, tile, or vinyl floors\u2014his nails are too long.<\/p>\n
Ideally, a dog’s nails should not touch the ground. This allows a dog to stand squarely and compactly on the pads of his feet. Nails that are too long put undue stress on the paw by forcing the weight onto the back of the pad. Equally important, nails that are too long can be broken, torn off, or snagged, and can scratch furniture, hardwood floors, and skin.<\/p>\n
Torn or broken nails can cause a Rottweiler a great deal of pain and discomfort, and they may become infected, which can require veterinary attention to remove the nail completely.<\/p>\n
As with other aspects of grooming, it is best to introduce your Rottweiler to the practice of nail care at a young age, because some dogs can be a bit fussy about nail trimming. If you choose to clip the nails yourself, it is highly advisable to invest in a good-quality nail clipper designed specifically for dogs.<\/p>\n
In the beginning, depending on the puppy’s level of cooperation, you may want to simply touch the nail clipper to the puppy’s nail and then offer plenty of praise. Then progress to clipping tiny bits of nail and then trimming off the remaining dead nail in small bits.<\/p>\n
In the beginning, you may need someone to help hold your dog, but once you get used to it, trimming your Rottweiler’s nails is no more difficult than trimming your own. When in doubt, ask a veterinarian, groomer, or breeder to show you how to do it properly. Or have a professional trim them regularly, which can be once a week or once a month\u2014or somewhere in between\u2014depending on the dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
