Brittle, splitting, or unusual-looking nails, or nails that seem to change in color or texture, can point to an underlying health concern. While the occasional broken nail can happen to any dog, ongoing changes are worth paying attention to. Understanding the causes of abnormal dog nails can help you recognize when your pet needs more than just a nail trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Causes of Abnormal Dog Nails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dog&#8217;s nails are constantly growing, and normal activity usually helps keep them naturally worn down. When the nails become unusually long, fragile, or misshapen, something may be interfering with healthy nail growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everyday Wear &amp; Tear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, a cracked or broken nail is the result of an adventurous pet doing what they do best. Running, digging, jumping, and playing on rough surfaces can all put stress on their nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other common reasons for nail changes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nails that are too long<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trauma to a nail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excessive chewing at their paws<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A nail getting caught on rough surfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of natural nail wear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single damaged nail is usually less concerning than a recurring pattern of nail damage affecting multiple nails over an extended period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Dog Nails Keep Splitting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice dog nails splitting repeatedly, it may be time to look a little deeper. Nails that are consistently brittle or breaking can sometimes be associated with inflammation, infection, allergies, nutritional concerns, or certain immune-related conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some dogs may also develop conditions that affect nail growth. If several nails become fragile, distorted, or painful, your veterinarian should examine the paws and nail beds to determine whether additional testing is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay attention to other changes, too, like redness, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/why-is-my-dogs-paw-swollen-insect-stings-injuries-and-foxtails-oh-my\/\">swelling<\/a>, discharge, bleeding, persistent licking, limping, or a noticeable change in your dog&#8217;s activity level. All these symptoms can be clues that something is bothering them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overgrown Nails Can Cause Trouble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overgrown nails may not seem like a big deal, but they can affect the way your dog walks. Long nails can change paw positioning and place extra pressure on the toes. In some cases, nails can curve underneath the paw and become painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping your dog&#8217;s nails trimmed is an important part of routine paw care. If your dog absolutely hates nail trims, you are not alone. Some pups act like the nail clippers are tiny monsters sent specifically to ruin their day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular checks at home can help you catch changes early. Look for cracks, unusual thickness, discoloration, swelling, or nails that look different from the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give Those Paws a Little Extra Attention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dog&#8217;s paws take them everywhere, from backyard adventures to long walks and everything in between. If you notice persistent dog nail problems, repeated splitting, pain, or unusual nail growth, don&#8217;t simply chalk it up to needing a better pedicure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re concerned about your dog&#8217;s nails, the team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/contact-us\/\">True Care Veterinary Hospital<\/a> can help determine whether your dog&#8217;s nail changes are a simple grooming concern or a sign of a medical issue.
