Reduced risk of injury
Long nails can get caught on things and tear, which can be painful and lead to infection. Trimming helps prevent this.

Dog nail trimming in Exeter
The pawdicure your dog deserves.
The honest answer
Is cutting a dog's nails painful?
If done correctly, cutting a dog's nails should not be painful. However, if you cut the nail too short you can hit the quick — the sensitive part of the nail that contains blood vessels and nerves. That can be painful for your dog and may result in bleeding.
It's important to use sharp, high-quality clippers and to take your time when trimming, to avoid injuring them. Which is exactly what we do.
A good rule of thumb for timing: clip them as soon as they're touching the ground.

Why it matters
The benefits of trimming your dog's nails
Regular nail trimming provides a number of benefits for your dog's health and wellbeing.
Improved mobility
Overgrown nails can affect your dog's gait and cause joint pain. Keeping them trimmed helps their mobility and overall comfort.
Less scratching
If your dog's nails are too long they can scratch and damage furniture, carpets and other household items.
Better hygiene
Regular trimming helps prevent ingrown nails and infections, which can be painful and may require medical attention.

Nail clipping at The Groom Pad
At our salon we use only the highest quality tools to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for your pup.
We'll first assess your pup's nails to determine the length and whether or not they need to be trimmed. Once the assessment is complete, we then use special clippers to carefully trim the nails — no rushing, plenty of fuss, treats at the end.
