Torn nails in dogs
Torn nails are a common problem for dogs of all ages. They can be extremely painful, depending on the level of damage. Torn nails usually result from getting caught on something, both indoors and outdoors, or from jumping and landing on the toe.
Torn, broken or damaged nails are usually easy to treat. Some may fall off on their own, while others may need to be removed by a vet. Torn nails are rarely life-threatening, as the bleeding usually stops on its own. They tend to heal fairly quickly and don’t leave any long-lasting damage. Prevention usually involves making sure the nails are not too long. Nail trimming is usually only needed for dogs who are less active, such as the ill or elderly.
