Automatic Nail Trimmer!

I can assure you that we're not alone on this topic.  It's something that we do not enjoy in the least bit.  It's something that our owners tell us that no dog enjoys, but has to be addressed.  The dirty job we're speaking of?  The trimming of our nails.

If you're having issues with trimming your dog's nails, we may have a solution for you.  Stumped?  Well, the answer to your problem may simply be walking your dog.  During the warm weather, we walk much more than we do when it's cold outside and our nails get just as much of a workout as the rest of our bodies.  The end results of our walks are that we're both exercised AND our nails get worn down.  Don't believe us?  Try a few weeks of daily walks (more than just around the block) and check out the results.  From the months of April-October, we have not had our nails trimmed since our owners adopted us due to our daily walks during warm weather.  A dog's nails will wear down on both asphalt and concrete surfaces (please be sure that the surface you're walking on is not too hot for your canine's paws as mid-Summer weather can cause surfaces to become dangerous to the pads of a dog's feet).  Walking your dog on grass may not be as beneficial to wearing it's nails down, but walking on grass is better than not walking at all.  If you dog pulls (which is another post in itself), the nails should file down much quicker/easier than just relaxed walks.  However, even with the more preferred relaxed walking, your dog's nails will wear down (just as car tires wear down even if you're a careful driver who drives normal roads/expressways).

We promise that not having to deal with trimming your dog's nails (or even worse, paying someone to trim their nails) is a desired lifestyle that you and your dog both would like to take advantage of.  And to think that all it takes is a few minutes a day of walking (something your dog will LOVE you for) is just icing on top of the homemade dog cookie!
