Your dog's claws should not ever extend so far that his nails come in contact with the ground when he's standing normally on a flat surface. Nails this long place unneeded stress on your pooch's paws, which in turn can lead to foot problems. We would like to thank Dr. Thomas, Veterinary Technician Annisa Prins and Veterinary Assistant Chantelle Gourlay for their continued support.
