]]>However, your dog’s health is dependent on healthy nails. First, dogs with long nails tend to have incorrect posture. Just as your mom taught you not to slouch to save you from later back pain, dogs should stand a particular way to avoid joint issues later. A dog with improper posture may fall easier, and certainly won’t be enjoying those walks or runs you love so much.
If you’re noticing that your dog tends to have a lot of missteps, especially on uneven ground, it’s often due to nails that are too long. Remember when you went on that hike and stepped on that rock that wasn’t quite solidly into the ground and turned your ankle a bit? The same thing can happen to your dog if they hit a piece of uneven ground if their nails are too long. By not keeping your dog’s nails properly trimmed, you’re risking a turned or sprained ankle, or even a torn out nail.
If your dog is older, they may be experiencing joint issues. If your dog’s nails are too long, you’re likely exacerbating those joint issues due to the changes in posture that result from long nails. When dogs are experiencing joint pain, proper posture helps them have less pain. If they’re standing funny because the pressure from their nails touching the ground hurts, then their joints will hurt more, too.
All in all, nail care is very important in the overall health of your dog. Our mobile dog grooming services make it easier for you to take care of your dog’s nails without worrying about driving your dog to an appointment with a groomer. For older dogs, or dogs with issues traveling, our mobile dog grooming service helps to alleviate stress and anxiety.

]]>Once the nail caps are applied, they remain in place for approximately 4-6 weeks. They will fall off with the natural growth of your cat’s nails. We recommend that you check your cat’s nails periodically because usually just one or two fall off at a time and these can be easily reapplied.
Each kit contains 40 nail caps and will last approximately 4-6 months per cat.
Note: While the vast majority of cats acclimate to the claw covers within minutes, some cats may require an adjustment period. Cats’ fastidious natures sometimes causes them to groom the claw covers excessively at first. This may result in one or two falling off. No problem. Just check the Paws daily at first, and if one is missing, simply replace it with another from the package. Thus, the first package may not last as long as subsequent packages. Again, most cats do not even notice they are wearing them after the first 30 minutes.
A good tip is to feed your cat his or her favorite food after applying the Soft Paws. This serves as a good reward and also diverts their attention away from their new acquisition. Some people find it easier to apply the Soft Paws when their cats are sleepy.
