I’m currently working through rebooking appointments for everyone who isn’t already booked for the rest of the year.

I’m behind doing them, apologies, I’ve not been feeling too great.

I’m hoping to get caught up this afternoon and make sure everyone is booked in for the rest of the year. (I can’t believe we’re here already!! 😵‍💫🎅🎄)

Please reply as soon as you’re able so I can move through them as quickly as possible.

Thanks guys!!

Your dog’s nail health is more than cosmetic—it’s crucial to their overall well-being.

When a dog’s nails grow too long, it can cause their toes to splay and shift their natural posture. This misalignment puts constant pressure on their joints and ligaments, especially in the legs and spine. Over time, it can lead to chronic pain, joint degeneration, and mobility issues.

Some common consequences of overgrown nails include:
• Abnormal gait and posture
• Stress on tendons and ligaments
• Arthritis and long-term joint damage
• Reduced activity due to pain

Regular nail trimming is one of the simplest ways to protect your dog’s orthopedic health. If you’re unsure how to trim safely, reach out to your vet or a professional groomer.

Don’t wait until your dog is limping to take action—healthy paws start with regular care.
