Torn Toe Nails

Winter is when we see many dogs tear a nail

We are knee deep in the season of broken, torn, or fractured toenails! Slippery surfaces and brittle, cold toenails increase the chance of dogs breaking their nails while running or playing. Keeping toenails short and supplementing with fatty acid/Omega-3 supplements for dogs with brittle nails can prevent this painful and bloody situation.
